The methodology followed in this subject are based on four main points:
1) Lessons and seminars. It means master lectures delivered by the professor where the active participation of the students is going to be boosted.
2) Practical lessons. These lessons will be delivered in the laboratory in groups where the maximum number of student per group will not be more that 20 people. These lessons will allow to put in practice the concepts which will be describe through the theoretical lessons.
3) Presentations by the students in class. The students will expose their works about some topics which it will be proposed by the professor.
4) Tutorial sessions in group or individual. This activity will allow to give a more personal answer to the doubts that the students will have along the academic year.

The development of large group and small group lectures will be focused on promoting quality teaching by giving priority to activities that foster inclusive and equitable learning (SDG-4)

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 is based on four points:

1) Attendance and active participation in lectures. This point will represent 5% of the final mark.

2) Problems resolution and/or presentations in class. This point will represent  25% of the final mark. The problems will have to be solved and given for its correction by the professor. The presentations will consist in a hour of speech of a proposed topic by the professor.  

3) Design and implementation of electronic circuits in practical sessions. This point will represent the 35% of the final mark. There will be practical sessions which are going to be corrected in the laboratory and other ones which will be necessary to prepare a final report.

4) Written exam.  This point will represent 35% of the final mark. It is mandatory to obtain at the very least a minimum mark of 3.5 to pass the subject.

Relevant information for extra session exam (July)

The mark for S4 (pracitical sessions) in the extra exam session will be assessed by a practical exam, if any . Nevertheless, a mark up to 4 in S2 (written exam) will be necessary to proceed to the computation of the overall mark (computing as the average of the available ones ). The weigths will be also modified due to the fact that S1 mark is not applicable in the extra exam session, so only S2 (60%) and S4 (40%) will be computed. The student will pass the course in case they get a overall mark in exceed of 5.

The first point described above is aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competences CB6, CG1, CG2, CG3, CT1 and CT5. Moreover, the following results of the learning are also evaluated by this activity: Resul-16 and Result-17.

The second point described above is aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competences CB6, CE12, CG5 and CT1. Moreover, the following results of the learning are also evaluated by this activity: Resul-16, Resul-17, Resul-18 and Result-19.

The third point described above is aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competences CB6, CE10, CE11, CE12, CE13, CE14, CG4, CG5 and CT2. Moreover, the following results of the learning are also evaluated by this activity: Resul-16, Resul-17, Resul-19 and Result-20.

The fourth point described above is aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competences CB7, CE10, CE12, CG4, CG5 and CT1. Moreover, the following results of the learning are also evaluated by this activity: Resul-18, Resul-19 and Resul-20.

Due to the short number of students usually enrolled in the master the lessons for all the students will take place in the indicated classroom. So, any access restriction restriction will be applied. 

Teaching Activities and Methodologies

Assessment

* According to the article 13 th of the Official Academic Guideline for the assessment of the Students at the University of Jaen whoever student has the right to ask for this exam as long as they justify the reason why the can not take part in regular teaching activities. They must let the professor know about it a week in advance the beginning of the exam period.

Resources

The communication means will be profoundly modified under this scenario. Thus, the following resources will be used:

Video call on Google Meet o whatever similar platform .

Virtual blackboard by Google Jamboard o r similar.
