During the semester, theory lessons and exercises will be held in the classroom. Theory lessons will present the scientific-technical knowledge of the subject in a structured, clear and ordered manner. The students will learn the basics with instructions on how to complete and deepen these contents. During the exercises, in small groups, students will have to solve problems related to the subject exposed in the master classes, with the teacher's support. The objective is to complete and deepen the understanding of the contents of the subject. 

A total of 4 sessions of laboratory sessions, of compulsory attendance will be planned. The objective of the lab sessions is to promote active student learning by working on the implementation and design of basic circuits, as well as developing  critical reasoning and teamwork competencies.

This subject/module does not include the single assessment system.

Continuous evaluation process:

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out continuously through four types of clearly differentiated activities:partial written exam, lab sessions, homework and active participation during the activities

There is no differentiated treatment for repeating students with regard to the partial exam, homework, or class participation.

1. Partial written exam

The grade corresponding to the partial written test has a weight of 40%, with a score above 4 required to average with the rest of the grades. This test can be retaken in the final recovery exam of the subject, requiring a 4 to average

2. Lab sessions:

The attendance to the lab sessions and the delivery of the corresponding reports are indispensable condition to pass the subject.

The mark corresponding to the laboratory sessions has a weight of 30% of the final grade, and a minimum score of 5 is required so that they can be considered for the evaluation of the subject.

A mark smaller than 5 in the lab sessions implies the student will fail the complete subject.

3. Work proposed by the teacher:

One written reports and / or oral presentation will be proposed by the teacher. The work must be done individually.

Students who have failed the works must submit to a final synthesis exam and take the exam of all the material not approved. A minimum final mark of 5 points will be required to average with the rest of the marks obtained by the student.

4. Active participation during the lessons and activities

Active participation in activities will be individually assessed

The final grade of the course will be calculated based on the weighting (midterm exam, practical sessions, the assignment proposed by the teaching staff, and active participation in class) of the four assessment activities, as previously indicated.

Recovery process: final exam

In order to be evaluated, the student must have a lab mark equal to or greater than 5, and must have taken the first midterm exam (Partial written exam).

Students can also attend to the final exam, even if they have passed, to improve the final qualification. In these cases the students renounce to the previous mark.

In the synthesis exam, the student may recover the partial written test, the project report, or both. A final minimum mark of 4 points will be required in the synthesis test to be computed with the rest of the marks.

In accordance with thecurrent academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that can lead to a variation of the qualification will be evaluated with a zero (0). For example, plagiarizing or copying an evaluation activity, will imply a zeromark in the activity. Assessment activities qualified in this way will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities, the student will fail this subject, without opportunity to recover it in the same course

Final grade of the course in the case of failing

1. Only if the student does not submit any practical reports or take‑home assignments, and does not sit the midterm exam, the final grade will be Not Assessable.
2. If the student does not sit the finalt exam, having failed either the first midterm or the proposed assignment, the final grade will be the weighted average of both activities, according to their respective evaluation weights, with a maximum value of 4, provided that the practical sessions have been passed.
3. If a student has not passed the practical sessions or does not obtain the minimum required score in the synthesis exam, the course will be considered failed and the student will receive the grade resulting from the result of the synthesis exam or of the first midterm and the proposed assignment (according to their corresponding weight), provided that this result is below 5. Otherwise, the final grade will be 4

Review of Grades

The standard review of assessment activities will begin at least twenty-four hours after the grades have been made public, or on the same day if previously announced publicly. At the discretion of the professors, in cases considered appropriate, any written test must be subsequently validated with an oral test. In the event of discrepancies in the results of the two tests, the oral test will prevail.

Special qualifications

For each subject , the number of Honors qualifications results from calculating the five percent or fraction of the students enrolled inall the teaching groups. Students will only be awarded if they have obtained a final mark equal to or greater than 9.00, and whenever the teacher considers it appropriate(depending on the student's excellence).

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage. Any assignment that includes AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in partial or total penalties on the activity’s grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
