Previous studies
RI5
B2
C4
Students will prepare and perform a total of four Previous studies that should be delivered via Moodle. Statements with questions to answer can also be downloaded via Moodle. 10 %
Laboratory practicals
RI5
B2
C4
Students will assemble a set of circuits in the laboratory, checking their performance and realizing the requested measurements. The document with the necessary information can be downloaded via Moodle. Once the requested measurements are performed, students must prepare a report including these measurements and relevant comments, which must be submitted via Moodle. Both the correctness of measurements and comments, as the correction in language is to be assessed. 10 %
Problem solving, classroom exercises
RI5
B2
Students will work in groups of 4 for a total of 3 problem collections. In the lecture room, each member of a given group will be asked to solve one or two problems within a collection. Then, one member of each group will be selected at random for his/her solution to be assessed and the mark obtained will be assigned to him/her and to any other group member. 15 %
Extended-answer tests
RI5
B2
At the end of the semester a single test will assess the student's ability to apply the knowledge developed in the course for the analysis of basic electronic circuits.
A minimum score of 3.5 out of 10 is compulsory in this test to pass.

30 %
Practical tests
RI5
B2
Students will assemble and perform individually measurements on any of the circuits worked in the laboratory. 15 %
Objective multiple-choice tests
RI5
B2
During the course, a total of 3 multiple choice tests will be performed individually by students in the lecture room on the concepts developed during lectures or worked by the student at home. 20 %

Other comments and second exam session

COMMENTS: For multiple choice tests, students may not have or use any communication device or data transmission capacity.

Students who fail to pass the continuous assessment will have a second round consisting in a three part exam:

A Problem test to assess the ability to analyze theoretically different electronic circuits (45%)

A multiple choice quiz about the basic concepts reviewed in the course (20%)

A laboratory test to assess the ability to assemble a circuit and perform a set of measures (35%) (Students with a final score in the continuous assessment over 3.5 and a mark of 7 in the laboratory test may ask to keep this laboratory mark in this second round)
