Minimum required grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1,R2,R3,R7 | Written exam, chapters 1, 2 and 3 (first mid-term) | 32.5 | Yes | - |
| R1,R2,R3,R7 | Written exam, chapters 4,5,6 and 7 (second mid-term) | 32.5 | Yes | - |
| R1,R2,R3,R7 | Follow-up tests | 20 | Yes | - |
| R4,R5,R6,R7 | Laboratory work (compulsory) and report evaluation | 15 | No | - |
Ordinary evaluation
The ordinary evaluation will be made through written exams (two mid-term exams and follow-up tests) and the practical work at the laboratory.
The practical work at the laboratory is compulsory and cannot be passed through a resit exam.
Resit (extraordinary) evaluation
- Final written exam, chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
The mark of this exam will be the 85% of the final mark. The remaining 15% will correspond to the laboratory mark.
Experimental practice program
Laboratory practices
Electric Field and Potential
Ohm's Law
Biot-Savart's Law/ Faraday's Law
These three practices are considered to be essential in order to achieve the learning outcomes. Consequently, the assistance to these three practices is mandatory.
It will be necessary to submit a practice report after the laboratory sessions for its qualification.
