The theoretical-practical expositions by the teachers promote the acquisition of up-to-date knowledge on the topics studied. At the same time, the realization of application problems/simulations independently is encouraged, with subsequent presentation of results obtained by the students (in groups or individually) that motivate reflection, criticism, and help a greater participation in the learning process. Viewing videos demonstrating the operation of the various electronic devices.
Laboratory Classes: Simulation/Experimental method applied to the development of circuits and systems based on the knowledge acquired in theoretical/practical classes.Modo de trabalho

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The main goal of this course unit is to impart knowledge necessary to understand the fundamental elements of electronics. Develop skills for analysis, design, simulation and execution of low-complexity electronic circuits.
The methodology is based on powerpoint with presentations by voice and demonstrative videos, combined with carrying out laboratory work supported by the material taught in theoretical-practical classes, constituting the most appropriate way of transmitting to students the theoretical-practical skills essential to achieving the objectives. proposed in the curricular unit.
The use of the Moodle e-learning platform in Distance Learning allows diversifying the assessment methodology. The platform will support the carrying out of mini formative tests, solved or unsolved exercises with solutions, unsolved exercises without solutions, and class questions and constitutes the repository of all information regarding the curricular unit in question. At the same time, an asynchronous monitoring of learning is carried out on the moodle platform and MS-Teams.Software

Obtenção de frequência
A score in the Theoretical component below 9.0 (nine) implies failure in the UC; The grade obtained in the Theoretical Exam (ET) cannot be less than 10 (ten) values; The average of Laboratory Work (TL) cannot be less than ten (10) values, as this implies failure in the Unit; To obtain frequency, the student must previously prepare five proposed works and deliver at the end of each laboratory a report on the experimental setups and/or simulations performed.Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
For students with the possibility of attending the course on a continuous assessment basis:
NF= 0.6xT + 0.4xLAB
Subtitle:
NF - final grade;
Theoretical Component (T) = Qaula/Mini-tests
Qaula - Mini-tests/class questions/ Kahoot questionnaires;
LAB - note of laboratory work.
Notes:
(1) Three mini-tests are planned;
(2) It is planned to hold 5 LABs;
(3) It is mandatory to be registered on the moodle platform to have access to the materials available for the course;
(4) The performance of examination tests for the purpose of improvement is subject to registration with the Academic Office according to the current regulations. The grade improvement focuses solely and exclusively on the theoretical component of the assessment associated with the tests;Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)
For students who were unable to attend the course in the continuous assessment regime (students with TE status), or who failed the Theoretical component, the final grade will be calculated as follows:
NF = 0.6xEXF + 0.4xLAB
Subtitle:
EXF - final exam;
LAB - note of laboratory work.Melhoria de classificação
The performance of exams for the purpose of improvement is subject to registration with the Academic Office according to the current regulations. The grade improvement focuses solely and exclusively on the theoretical component of the assessment associated with the tests.
