| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | Presentation of the subject in the regular classroom. Introduction to the laboratory: groups, table assignment, necessary material. |
| Lecture | Exposition of the contents of the subject. Theory complemented with significant examples. |
| IT-based practicals in computer rooms | Resolution of problems and exercises using scientific calculation and simulation tools such as SPICE. |
| Laboratory practicals | Sessions of compulsory attendance to the electronics laboratory (two-person teams) where both teamwork and individual active participation are valued. |
| Personal attention | Individual or small group attention in the professors' office, previous appointment by e-mail from the address "name@estudiants.urv.cat". |
| Personalized attention |
| Description |
|
Time that each teacher has reserved to attend and solve students' doubts. The attention will consist of individual or small group meetings, at times previously arranged by e-mail. |

The exams will be conducted in person. During the tests students will not be allowed to use cell phones, computers or any other communication or entertainment devices. The language of the statements of the evaluation tests and the scripts of the practices will be Catalan, because they are shared among all the teachers of the subject. The second exam session will consist of a mixed test (test and/or problems) of the whole syllabus with a weight of 75%. The practicals have a weight of 25%. There will be no specific test to evaluate the practicals in the second exam session because they have to be compulsorily performed during the period of continuous evaluation. In case of confinement or mobility restrictions, the exams will be taken at home on the scheduled dates. It is not foreseen to do the laboratory practices at home, in case of confinement, simulation activities with a lower weight would be done. In the Moodle space of the course you will be able to consult the updated information . |
