The subject has a weekly operation with four lecture sessions for the theory and three lecture sessions for laboratory practices:
- In theory sessions, a two-thirds of the time will be devoted to lectures and the rest of the time will be done individual, team and evaluation classes taking advantage of new learning methodologies and ICT technologies.
- The objective of the learning system is to update the subject, develop a good working method and therefore a continuous evaluation system will be followed which will also allow the teacher to follow and accompany the learning of the student the personalized as possible.
Practical laboratory sessions
The practical sessions are lectures that are part of the subject and that have a biweekly regularity lecture during the course development. The purpose of these is to support and promote the necessary and essential progressive learning in order to successfully complete both the practice of the subject and a large part of the contents of the subject.
The operation of the same is described below:
- The class group will attend a face-to-face session (3 hours) approximately every 2 weeks to receive explanations of a practice. During the assigned lab sessions, the teacher will be available for the first two sessions and a monitor for the third session to answer questions and monitor the work.
- The statements of the practices will be facilitated with the corresponding model to present the results.
- The presentation of the practice report will take place at the end of the third session and will be individual.
- At the end of each semester a written test will be carried out to demonstrate that the results of the proposed learning have been achieved.
- If the result of the evaluation is not favorable, a final retake exam will be presented in June and if it is not passed then there will be a last chance in July.
1) CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
Continuous evaluation objectives:
- The main goal is to help students to update the different subjects and achieve a good working method, so that it helps them to assimilate the matter imparted progressively and to obtain good academic results.
- It also allows us to assess the work the student does on a daily basis, without his note depending solely on the exams carried out during the semesters of the academic year.
- Facing the teacher, it helps to have more information about the work done by the students and a better knowledge of them, both academic and personal.
Continuous evaluation system:
- The continuous evaluation note will be determined taking into account some of the following concepts: Results of controls and exercises; Attendance, attitude and participation
- The knowledge required in previous controls and exercises will be based on the explanations made in class or the laboratory and in the material provided to the students.
- The teacher will evaluate the student with a minimum frequency of two weeks.
- The mark will provide 70% of the knowledge reflected in the controls and exercises and the remaining 30% according to the teacher's criteria (attendance, attitude and participation).
- Two times per semester the continuous evaluation note will be published (half of the semester, to be used as an orientation and, finally, the final semester), consisting of a numerical score of 10.
- Attendance at classes is a fundamental element to be able to follow the continuous evaluation correctly.
2) GLOBAL EVALUATION
- The final theory grade will be calculated from the two semester grades. An average will be made between the two semester grades as long as they are equivalent to or greater than 4.
- Semester grades will be calculated based on the exams grade (Grade_Exams) and the continuous evaluation grade (Grade_CE) according to the following formula, provided that the exam grade (Grade_Exams) is equal to or greater than 4:
Grade_Semester = 70% · Grade_Exams + 30% · Grade_CE
- If the exams grade (Grade_Exams) does not reach 4, then the semester grade will be directly the exams grade, that is, Grade_Semester = Grade_Exams.
- On the other hand, the exams grade (Grade_Ex) will be calculated by weighting the grades of the mid-term exam (Grade_MidTerm) and the grade of the final semester exam (Grade_Final) according to the following formula:
Grade_Exams = 70% · Grade_Final + 30% · Grade_MidTerm
- In June only the second semester will be evaluated.
- The semesters will release contents from the exam until the extraordinary retake, included, provided they have a minimum grade of 4.
- Students who have not passed the theory in June will have an extraordinary exam (July), in which they can take the retake exams for the semesters that they have not previously released. In these cases, the semester grade will be directly the grade of the retake exam.
- The evaluation of the theoretical knowledge and the practical knowledge will be independent, it is not mandatory to pass one of the parts to present to the other one.
- The evaluation of practical knowledge has its own rules that are different from those presented previously.
- To pass the subject, the theory and the practices will have to be passed independently with a minimum grade of 5 in each of them.
- The final grade for the subject will be made up with 70% of the theory grade plus 30% of the practices grade once both parts have been passed.
- The student must demonstrate the necessary knowledge related to the subject.
- The student must be able to solve, interpret, and design any problem in the field of electronics that may arise.
- The student must be able to interpret the numerous pieces of information provided for the exercises, synthesizing them and choosing the best procedures to solve the problems.
- The student must be accustomed to working with real data from manufacturers.
- The student must be able to plan their tasks related to the exercises in order to submit them within the established deadlines and successfully pass the periodic tests.
- The student must have the organizational skills to work effectively and foster teamwork. Through this teamwork, they should be able to overcome any problem by applying the acquired knowledge.
- The student must maintain consistency in their work and in assimilating the content so that they acquire it progressively.
