Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Exercises. Circuit design project.
Further on evaluation
The assessment includes a written final exam (counts 60%) and a project assignment (counts 40%). Both parts must be passed. Grade: Letter grade.
In the event of a re-sit examination in August, the examination may be changed to an oral examination. If you do not pass the project assignment, this must be taken again at the next ordinary completion of the course.
If one or more partial assessments are not passed, only the individual partial assessment, which has not been passed, must be taken up again.
In case of repeated examination after passing the course, the whole course must be repeated.
