Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
Blackboard will be used in theoretical classes to present the contents. The video projector can be used to display figures, plots, and tables. In theoretical-practical classes, students will solve problems from the problem sheets prepared by the teacher. Practical classes consist of carrying out experiments in the laboratory. Practical classes consist of carrying out experiments in the laboratory and the respective processing of the data obtained. Type of laboratory activities: Exercises, Predict-Observe-Explain-Reflect (with laboratory procedure included). List of laboratory work: P1-Introductory notes. P2-The oscilloscope. P3-Voltage divider. Current divider. P4-Voltage source. Current source. P5-Capacitor: Charging and discharging. P6-Capacitor: Impedance and filters. P7-Tracing of electric and magnetic field lines. P8-Induced electromotive force. P9-RLC circuit, damped oscillations and forced oscillations. P10-Magnetic dipole moment of a magnet. P11-Cathode ray deflection. In accordance with Assessment Model B of Regulation No. 821/2022, the assessment will have two components, one theoretical and one laboratory, in which students will have to obtain at least 9.5 points in each: - Theoretical Component, with a weight of 75% in the final grade; - Laboratory component, with a weight of 25% in the final grade. The Theoretical component will be assessed by completing two tests. The weight of each frequency in the final grade is 37.5%. The Laboratory component will be assessed through two practical exams. The weight of each practical exam in the final grade is 12.5%.
