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 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
Classification in the Theoretical component carried out through the average of two theoretical tests below 9.5 (nine and a half) values implies failure in the UC; The two tests have the same "weight" in the final assessment (30%).
It is not possible to repeat more than one test on each assessment date, so a student who fails a single test will only be able to recover that test on the exam date of the Normal Season. If you fail, your theoretical assessment will be sent to the exam during the Appeal Period.
If the student takes the final exam, the grade obtained in the Theoretical Exam (ET) cannot be less than 10 (ten) values.
The average for Laboratory Work (TL) cannot be less than ten (10) values, as this implies failure in the Curricular Unit; To obtain frequency, the student must previously prepare five proposed works and deliver at the end of each laboratory session the results relating to the experimental setups tested and/or simulations carried out. In the last laboratory session of each assignment, each student is subjected to a laboratory test.Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
The final grade for students who take the UC through tests is calculated as:
NF= 0.6 MT+ 0.4 LAB
Subtitle:
NF - final grade;
Theoretical Component (MT) = arithmetic mean of the two tests with both having the same "weight"
LAB - laboratory competency grade.
Grades:
(1) Two tests are expected to be carried out;
(2) It is planned to carry out 5 laboratory works;
(3) It is mandatory to be registered on the Moodle platform to access the materials available for the course;
(4) Examination tests for improvement purposes are subject to registration with the Academic Secretariat in accordance with current regulations. 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 normal regime by taking two theoretical tests (students with TE status), or who failed the Theoretical component in tests proposed for the final exam, the final grade will be calculated based on following way:
NF = 0.6 EXF + 0.4 LAB
Subtitle:
EXF - final exam;
LAB - grade for 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.
