	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE CONSISTS OF THEORETICAL LESSONS (50%), CLASSROOM EXERCISES (25%) AND LABORATORY (MAINLY SIMULATION) CLASSROOM (25%. IN THE THEORETICAL LESSONS, THE TEACHER INVOLVES THE STUDENTS BY MAKING THEM AN ACTIVE PART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TREATMENT OF THEORETICAL TOPICS, AT THE SAME TIME VERIFYING THE DEGREE OF MATURATION OF THE CONCEPTS EXPOSED UP TO THAT MOMENT. EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION OF THEORETICAL TOPICS ARE ASSIGNED, CARRIED OUT, AND COMMENTED IN THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES. THE TEACHER INITIALLY ILLUSTRATES THE CORRECT ANALYSIS OR PROJECT PROCEDURE AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, THE STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE PROBLEM'S SOLUTION. TO PROMOTE STUDENTS' STUDY DURING THE LESSONS, THE TEACHER CAN ASSIGN HOMEWORK, THE SOLUTION OF WHICH CAN BE DISCUSSED IN THE CLASSROOM OR WITH THE SUPPORT OF E-LEARNING PLATFORMS. IN THE LABORATORY EXERCISES THE SAME EXERCISES AS THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES ARE TAKEN WITH THE AID OF THE CALCULATOR. THE COURSE PROVIDES COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE. THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF ATTENDANCE THAT GUARANTEES ACCESS TO THE PROFIT EXAMINATION IS 70%. THE TEACHING IS PROVIDED IN PRESENCE. THE LANGUAGE OF TEACHING IS ENGLISH.

	Verification of learning
	THE EXAM IS AIMED AT ASSESSING, OVERALL, THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE LESSON, THE CAPACITY TO APPLY SUCH KNOWLEDGE TO THE ANALYSIS OF CIRCUITS, THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT, THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND THE CAPACITY OF LEARN. [PROFIT EXAMINATION]. THE PROFIT EXAMINATION CONSISTS OF A PRACTICAL TEST (WHICH INVOLVES THE PRODUCTION OF A PROJECT) AND AN INTERVIEW. UPON INSTRUCTION BY THE TEACHING COUNCIL, THE PRACTICAL TEST MAY BE DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTIAL TESTS, ONE OF WHICH IS INTERCOURSE. THE PRACTICAL TEST, CARRIED OUT IN AN EDUCATIONAL LABORATORY, CONSISTS IN THE SOLUTION OF CIRCUITAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AID OF THE CALCULATOR AND IN THE DRAFTING OF A DOCUMENT WHICH INTRODUCES, FORMALIZES AND ILLUSTRATES IN DETAIL THE SOLUTIONS PROPOSED AND DISCUSSES, WITH A SHORT TEXT, ANY TOPICS INDICATED IN THE TRACK. THE PRACTICAL TEST MAY BE ADMINISTERED THROUGH A PRE-ASSESSED TEST THROUGH THE E-LEARNING PLATFORM MADE AVAILABLE BY THE UNIVERSITY [THE PRACTICAL TEST]. THE TOPICS SUBJECT TO THE EXERCISES IN THE PRACTICAL TEST ARE ALL THOSE CONTAINED IN THE TEACHING PROGRAM. THE EVALUATION OF THE PRACTICAL TEST TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE NUMERICAL RESULTS AND THE CORRECTNESS OF THE SETTING. THE SCALE USED IS THE FOLLOWING: A-EXCELLENT, B-GOOD, C-FAIR, D-SUFFICIENT, E-INSUFFICIENT. TO ACCESS THE INTERVIEW, AN ASSESSMENT EQUAL TO OR HIGHER AT LEVEL D-SUFFICIENT IS REQUIRED. [THE ORAL EXAMINATION]. THE INTERVIEW CONCERNS THE CONTENTS OF THE PROJECT AND THE PROGRAMME. THE STUDENT WILL ALSO BE CALLED TO ARGUMENT THE CHOICES MADE IN THE PRACTICAL TEST. THE EVALUATION OF THE INTERVIEW WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE KNOWLEDGE DEMONSTRATED BY THE STUDENT AND THE DEGREE OF THEIR DEEPENING, THE CAPACITY TO LEARN DEMONSTRATED, THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE CONTENTS AND SKILLS, THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSURE AND THE QUALITY OF THE PAPER DISCUSSED. [FINAL EVALUATION]. THE FINAL EVALUATION, EXPRESSED OUT OF THIRTY WITH POSSIBLE LAUD, WILL TAKE BOTH TESTS INTO ACCOUNT. THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (18) IS ASSIGNED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE PROPOSED PROBLEM SOLUTION METHODS AND HAS A LIMITED BUT SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN TOPICS STUDIED. THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE METHODS AND IS ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROPOSED PROBLEMS BY REACHING THE SOLUTION EFFICIENTLY AND ACCURATELY AND SHOWS A REMARKABLE CAPACITY TO CONNECT THE TOPICS STUDIED. HONOR IS GIVEN WHEN THE CANDIDATE DEMONSTRATES SIGNIFICANT MASTERY OF THEORETICAL AND OPERATIONAL CONTENTS AND SHOWS ABLE TO PRESENT THE TOPICS WITH REMARKABLE LANGUAGE PROPERTIES AND INDEPENDENT PROCESSING CAPACITY EVEN IN CONTEXT DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER.
