Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
In each type of exercise, students can obtain up to 10 points, i.e. a total of up to 30 points for exercises. The examination proper is a written examination and students can obtain up to 70 points. The examination is focused on the students’ ability to orient themselves in the design of basic analog circuits and to analyse more complex analog structures.
