7. Activities, Units/Modules and Methodology
| Training Activity | Methodology | Related Competences (only degrees before RD 822/2021) | ECTS | Hours | As | Com | Description | |
| Class Attendance (theory) [ON-SITE] | Lectures | CB02 CB03 CB04 CB05 CEC04 CG03 CG04 CG06 CT02 CT03 | 1.2 | 30 | N | N | The classroom sessions will be structured as follows: Definitions, mathematical demonstrations, and simple examples will be explained using a projector presentation. In addition to delivering the content, the professor will interact with the students by asking questions or presenting simple exercises to verify if the students are truly understanding what has been explained. The whiteboard will also be used to perform complex practical exercises and reinforce the explanation of any aspects that may not have been sufficiently clear and require additional clarification. The collections of slides used in the theoretical classes will be made available to the students with sufficient advance notice so that they can bring them to the classes or even read them prior to the session. The virtual platform Moodle will be used for this purpose. | |
| Problem solving and/or case studies [ON-SITE] | Problem solving and exercises | CB02 CB03 CB04 CB05 CEC04 CG03 CG04 CG06 CT02 CT03 | 0.4 | 10 | N | N | In the classroom exercise solving sessions, the professor will present a series of exercises to the students for them to solve. The students will have the assistance of the professor, who will address doubts both individually and for the entire class. It is important to encourage students to interact with each other by asking questions. This allows students to explain the exercises to their peers, which promotes the use of technical language among students. Once the designated time has elapsed, either the professor or a student will solve the exercises on the whiteboard. | |
| Class Attendance (practical) [ON-SITE] | Practical or hands-on activities | CB02 CB03 CB04 CB05 CEC04 CG03 CG04 CG06 CT02 CT03 | 0.6 | 15 | Y | Y | Laboratory practices are essential in technical education for students to develop certain skills that they cannot acquire otherwise. Specifically, in the laboratory practices of the Electric Technology course, students will become familiar with the equipment in an Electrical Engineering laboratory. Students will learn to connect measurement devices and experimentally verify the physical laws that govern electrical circuits, which were previously studied in theoretical classes. If laboratory practices are not completed, they can be recovered through a practical exam, including theoretical and practical components in the laboratory, as well as the completion of a written assignment. | |
| Formative Assessment [ON-SITE] | Assessment tests | CB02 CB03 CB04 CB05 CEC04 CG03 CG04 CG06 CT02 CT03 | 0.2 | 5 | Y | Y | Throughout the course, two written evaluation tests will be conducted. The learning objectives assessed in each test will cover all the content studied from the first day of the course until the test date. The midterm exams will mostly consist of practical exercises (around 2 to 3) and possibly some theoretical questions. The second midterm exam will coincide with the regular exam of the course. In the midterm exams, obtaining correct results and the problem-solving approaches used by each student will be emphasized. The following will be assessed: Approach to solving the exercises. Obtaining correct results. Explanation of the steps followed in solving the exercises. Clarity and precision in answering theoretical questions. Presentation and clarity in the completion of the exams. The final exam is the option available for all students who were unable to pass the course through the midterm exams. The final exam will mainly consist of practical exercises, and some theoretical questions will also be included. Efforts will be made to cover most of the course content in the proposed exercises. The following will be assessed: Approach to solving the exercises. Obtaining correct results. Explanation of the steps followed in solving the exercises. Clarity and precision in answering theoretical questions. Presentation and clarity in the completion of the exams. | |

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Mid-term tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | The first midterm exam will take place halfway through the semester and can account for up to 35% of the final grade if a minimum score of 4 is achieved. The second midterm exam will coincide with the final exam of the course. This midterm exam accounts for up to 35% of the final grade if a minimum score of 4 is achieved. |
| Final test | 0.00% | 70.00% | For those students who have not taken or passed the midterm exam, the final exam will account for 70% of the final grade. It is necessary to obtain a score equal to or higher than 4 in order to include the rest of the grades. |
| Laboratory sessions | 30.00% | 30.00% | Attendance and proper completion of practice assignments: 15% Evaluation of the lab report, assessing the content, format, and conclusions of the laboratory practices: 15% |
| 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:It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4 in each midterm exam to have a chance of passing the course.
The laboratory practices and the preparation of lab reports can be recovered through a practical exam and the completion of a report. -
Non-continuous evaluation:It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4 in the final exam to have a chance of passing the course.
The laboratory practices and the preparation of lab reports can be recovered through a practical exam and the completion of a report.
