Methodologies
|
Description |
Introductory activities |
The methodologies to be used in the matter will be revised as well as the program, the learning objectives, the assessment procedure and reference books |
Presentations / expositions |
Students would present individually the results of the works performed during the course to their collegues. |
Lecture |
The topics of the matter will be exposed in class as well as representative examples. |
Assignments |
Each student or group of 2 students will be asked to define and simulate the procedures to achieve a given electronic device. Then, the behavior of this device will be simulated also. |
Personal tuition |
Students will be able to solve any doubt about concepts reviewed in class or solving problems or in any other activity, attending to the office of any lecturer related to the matter, according to the timetable reserved for this purpose. |

Assignments |
|
The students will have to produce written reports about the works they will carry out during the course. The reports will need to contain a description of the work objectives, a summary of the obtained results and conclusions. The order, the clarity, the correctness and the abilities to produce a written text adequate to the communicative needs will be evaluated. |
