The methodology followed for the teaching of the subject tittled Electronic Supplements is based on four didactic resources :

1) A large group lectures and seminars. In these master lectures the active participation by students will be boosted.

2 ) Classes in groups of practical sessions . These practical sessions will be carried out in the laboratory in groups no larger than 20 people gathered by pairs. These classes will allow to implement the concepts described by large group lectures

3 ) Collective / individual tutorial lectures. This activity will allow to give a personalized response to questions set out by students along the academic course.

4) Carrying out a guided project. This activity is addressed to design and implement a prototype able to feed a electronic system using photovoltaic modules. 

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

The evaluation of the subject and the final mark will be based on the marks obtained by students in three sections:

1) Attendance and active participation in classes which represents 20 % of the final mark .  The student's active participation in the lectures and practical sessions will evaluated at this section.

2 ) Practical sessions and class work which represents 40% of the final mark . It will be appreciated the correct design and assembly of electronic circuits proposed .

3 ) Students can choose whatever of the following options:

A) Project: this activity represents the 40% of the overall mark. It consists in the implementation of an electronic system based on DC/DC convertors feed by photovolataic modules wich has to supply a electronic devise. It will be assessed the correct working of the prototype (70%) and its proper design (30%)

B) Final exam which represents 40% of the final mark . It will be assessed the correct resolution of the theoretical and practical problems set .

The three points described above are aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competence C.9

Note: There is not a minimum mark  (for any of the points above described) that the students have to achieve to compute the mean of the three parts (overall mark).
