4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The classes in a large group will be a set of introductory activities, master classes and presentation of the theoretical contents, including examples that allow the acquisition of knowledge.

The student will be able to follow the exposition of the topics through the material previously made available to them.

The activities in the laboratory will focus on tasks that reflect the knowledge acquired based on the theoretical content.

In this context, collaborative work will be encouraged, as well as the correct communication of the results obtained.

Finally, collective tutorials will be used to resolve doubts, as well as to monitor what has been learned by the students.

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

OVERALL EVALUATION

S1. Attendance and participation. The involvement of the student in the development of the classes where they demonstrate the daily work in order to acquire the necessary skills will be valued. The resolution of exercises in English will be especially valued in this section.

S2. Theoretical concepts of the subject. The theoretical contents and their application to solve problems will be evaluated through an exam in the official date.

S3. Carrying out work, cases and exercises. The student's learning progress will be evaluated through continuous evaluation of their ability to project and design electronic circuits with the help of simulations.

S4. Laboratory practices. The student's ability to design and develop electronic circuits will be evaluated through practical assemblies and simulation of electronic circuits.

In the Extraordinary Call 2, the grade of S4 will correspond to the result of the evaluation through a practical exam, as long as S2 has been passed.

It will be necessary to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points in S2 and S4 to carry out the weighted average. The subject will be considered passed if that weighted average is equal to or greater than 5 points. If this is not the case, the grade corresponding to S2 will appear in the minutes.

 

SINGLE TEST

In compliance with article 13 of the Regulations for the Academic Regime and Assessment of Students of the University of Jaén, any student who justifiably (according to the assumptions contained in the aforementioned article) cannot participate in the regulated and complementary face-to-face activities proposed in subject, you can ask the teaching staff to change the evaluation procedure to a 'single test'.

This request, together with the corresponding justification, must be made at least one week before the start of the examination period.

There will be an exam that will evaluate S2 and another that will evaluate S4, the final grade being that obtained after weighing 50% the result of the evaluation of both exams; To pass the subject, a grade equal to or greater than 5 points must be obtained in each item.

_________________

With this system, the CB2, CC5, CT4 and CT6 competencies will be evaluated.

The positive evaluation of the student will imply that he has achieved the learning results Resul-34, Resul-35, Resul-36 and Resul-37.
