2. Pre-Requisites

It is necessary to know the contents related to the identification of components of a basic electrical circuit, basic experimental measurement techniques and the identification of the main audio and video components present in consumer electronic equipment.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

In this subject, students will acquire knowledge about the origin of bioelectric signals and the methods of measurement and registration of them. The different equipment present in a health center will be described and the role that technicians specialized in electromedicine play in the acquisition of non-implantable active medical devices, their implementation and the preventive and corrective maintenance of them.
This specialty of engineering is called to be one of the main economic growth engines in the coming years, with a high presence of techniques associated with audiovisual systems that are the subject of study in this curriculum.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System

Evaluation System	Continuous assessment	Non-continuous evaluation *	Description
Progress Tests	40.00%	40.00%	Partial tests performed at the end of each thematic block
Laboratory sessions	60.00%	60.00%	Realization of practical cases in group
Total:	100.00%	100.00%

According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).

Evaluation criteria for the final exam:

Continuous assessment:

The weightings indicated in the section on 'assessments' will be applied. Progress tests' and laboratory practices may be made up by an examination on a date set by the Sub-directorate of Studies. The student who passes the laboratory will keep the mark during the following course, unless he decides to repeat it voluntarily. In case of not passing the course in the following course, the student will have to do the laboratory practices again.
Non-continuous evaluation:

The student who cannot attend the training activities regularly, with justification, must inform the subject's teacher at the beginning of the semester in order to be able to carry them out at a time and on a date agreed with the teacher.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:

The student will be able to recover the part corresponding to the tests of progress and laboratory practices through an examination on the date established by the sub-direction of studies. The same weightings will be applied as in the ordinary call.

Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:

Training activities corresponding to progress tests and laboratory practices will be evaluated through an examination on a date set by the Sub-Directorate of Studies. The same weights will be applied as in the ordinary call.
