Teaching methods
The module 1 (Applicazioni Industriali Elettriche) of the course counts 6 CFUs (one CFU, University Credits equals one ECTS credit and represents the workload of a student during educational activities aimed at passing the exams), which corresponds to 42 hours of lectures. The module 2 of the course (Elementi di Elettronica) counts 3 CFUs, which corresponds to 24 hours of lectures. The educational activities include lectures and exercises. During lectures, the course topics are proposed from the theoretical and design point of view in order to promote a deep understanding of the issues and to bring out by the students any previous knowledge on the subjects in question. Slides and notes used to support the lessons will be uploaded to the Elly Platform. Notes, slides, spreadsheets, tables, and all shared material are part of the educational material. For non-attending students, it is important to stay up-to-date on the course through the Elly platform, the only communication tool used for direct teacher / student contact. On this platform, the topics discussed in the lesson will be pointed out and registered, providing the students with an index of the contents for the final exam.
Assessment methods and criteria
There is a single written exam for the two modules making up the integrated course.
In case other solutions are not possible, exams could be taken online on the Teams platform. In that case, a threshold test (with multiple answers format) will be prepended to the written test.
The contents of the first module of the course are verified with a written text, focusing on the topics presented in the classroom. The test is made up of both exercises about circuit solution and questions about theoretical elements explained during the course.
As far as Elementi di Elettronica, students will have to demonstrate knowledge of the techniques for the frequency-domain analysis of linear systems treated in the lectures, and the ability to apply them. They are also expected to be able to analyze the behavior of simple circuits. It is considered important the students skill to solve simple quantitative exercises by hand calculation and to answer to questions related to the basis of electronics.
The final vote is calculated by assigning a mark in the range 0-30 for each part of the course and then performing the weighted average of the individual evaluations, with final ceiling to the next unit; the test is exceeded if it reaches a score of at least 18 points. “30 cum laude” is given to students who achieve the highest score on each item, use precise vocabulary, and who write an adequately structured paper.
