.
Four-month course , with the following schedule distribution and methodology in each case:
- 24 theoretical hours distributed at two hours per week, given as a lecture with the support of blackboard, slides and video projector.
- 12 hours of seminars iterative solving exercises and problems
- 3 hours of tutorials in small groups distributed during the weeks of expository and interactive teaching.
- 12 practical hours carried out in the computer room and in the electrical engineering laboratory, where the methodology will be as follows: brief explanation of the work to be carried out and the students carry out the practice..
- Teaching support through the virtual campus, possibility of taking theory tests in which the correct learning of the subject will be verified and that will help to prepare the theory part of the final exam; There will also be the different contents of the course such as agenda, transparencies, practical schedules, ... There will be a forum where questions can be consulted, and that will complement the face-to-face tutorials
Assessment consists of 3 sections:
a.) Evaluation of practices (20% of the final mark). The practices will be evaluated through submission of a final report, taking 20% of weight on the final qualification of the matter. The practical sessions are obligatory attendance.
b) Exercises and solving theoretical questions in the classroom (20% of the final mark).
Small exercises and tests of theoretical issues will be raised on several occasions throughout the course. These tests may be made at the end of any presential session without prior notice, or you may be notified one day in advance.
c) Final and partial exams (60% of the final mark). A final exam and an optional partial will be performed. The exams will consist of a part of theory and other exercises. (20-40 % theory, 60-80 % exercises) being required to achieve at least 25% of the score of each exercise to pass the exam. The partial exam will count 30% of the final mark, and the final examination of the ordinary call will count 30% of the approved status. In this case, only non evaluated mater will be evaluated in the final examination . People who do not wish to make the partial examination, or who do not overcome, will take the final exam of the whole subject, and in this case the value of 60% of the final mark. The minimum final exam mark will be 4 out of 10.
For the extraordinary call will be on the same conditions as for the ordinary call.
Repeaters students may attend theoretical classes and problems at their discretion. In addition, they may submit to all examinations and tests carried out for students of first registration.
The practices will be valid for two academic years from its completion, so it will not repeat in this period.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades will apply.
