Methodology

Lessons mainly consist of lectures. They are distributed in sessions where theoretical contents are explained and sessions where problems related to the theoretical contents are solved. In each theory block problems are proposed for students to solve at home. These problems will allow the teacher to do a more continuous assessment and complete the exam marks. There are also sessions dedicated to the resolution of exercises in which the students can ask about their doubts. Class exams for continuous assessment are also done.

All students have the possibility of making personalized questions to any of the subject´s teachers about the theoretical contents or about the problems resolution.

Evaluation

A. Exams.
B. Homework.
C. Class exams.

There is a final exam in June and also a midterm exam which will add from 0,4 to 1 point to the final exam mark if both are higher than 4. Homework and class exams will also contribute in the final mark. The recovery exam in case you failed the exam in June will be in July.

Evaluation Criteria

Objective 1: Students must know how to analyze a circuit correctly [A, B, C]
Objective 2: Students have to know how to choose the correct mathematical tools for the analysis of each situation [A, B, C]
Objective 3: Students must know how to interpret the results and plots obtained in the circuit analysis [A, B, C]
Objective 4: Students must have the necessary knowledge to understand and to search for synthesis tools on their own. [B]
