Previous studies |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
Students will assemble and perform individually measurements on any of the circuits worked in the laboratory. A minimum score of 3.5 out of 10 is compulsory in this test to pass. |
15 % | ||||
Objective multiple-choice tests |
|
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%) Each of the three test requires a minimum qualification of 3.5 to pass the course. Students who have passed during continuous evaluation the extended-answer test, the practical test in the laboratory and / or the globalization test (third multiple choice test during course), may request that the qualifications obtained are maintained for the second call, applying the above percentages |
