4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

* Theoretical classes: they will serve to highlight the most important aspects of the topics, motivating the student through dialogue and the exchange of ideas. Theoretical classes will take place in the classroom, interspersing problems between the theoretical explanations when deemed appropriate. During these classes, various audiovisual aids will be used to support teaching.

* Laboratory practices: the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes will be strengthened, especially those related to the aspects of the use of equipment, assembly of circuits and their compression.

* The theoretical and practical classes will aim for the student to acquire the knowledge and skills described above.

* Seminars, presentation of work and debate: work sessions in which the teacher, with a group of students, examines and compares the different points of view and opinions of all its components, in order to contribute to the understanding of the problems analyzed.

* Tutorials: they will try to solve the doubts raised by the students about the theoretical-practical classes or about the different activities and work that the students must carry out.

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

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Attendance and active participation in class, either in person or on the virtual teaching platform or virtual platforms, will be evaluated by the faculty and can be evaluated with 20% of the final grade. In this section the CT2 and CT4 skills will be evaluated.
The theoretical exam will consist of a test in which theoretical knowledge and problems and projects will be evaluated and will account for 40% of the final grade. The competencies CEL2, CEL6, CT2, CT4 and the learning outcomes 15R, 16, 17R and 18R will be evaluated.
The performance of individual or group work will be evaluated with 40% of the final grade. The CT2 and CT4 competencies and the learning outcomes 15R, 16, 17R, 18R and 20 will be evaluated.
