The subject will be taught and evaluated fully in English. Technical documents, reports, presentations and interactions with the students will be performed in English.
A) First Call:
The student work in the subject will be evaluated through the development of the mentored works and laboratory practice:
1. The microwave circuit prototype: design (ideal and microstrip), fabrication in hybrid integrated technology, RF performance evaluation (simulated/ experimental) and written report. In total, up to 90% of the total Subject qualification. 2. The topic written report and its oral presentation (with discussion). In total, up to 10% of the total subject qualification. Those students who did opt for Global Evaluation (this decision is always open until 1 month before the date of the global examination), will have four weeks to design, fabricate (mandatory to opt to a grade above 80% of the maximum subject qualification), evaluate performance and write a report of a new circuit prototype, chosen by the lecturer. The assessment of this work will be up to 100% of the subject qualification. B) Second Call:
Those students who attended at least in 80% of the face-to-face class hours will have the opportunity to re-design his/her previous prototype and also improve the topic written report. Each of these tasks will be assigned the same qualification percentage as in the First Call
Those students who have not been present in at least 80% of the face-to-face class hours, or did not opt for improving their previous works, will have four weeks to design, fabricate (mandatory to opt to a grade above 80% of the maximum subject qualification), evaluate performance and write a report of a new circuit prototype, chosen by the lecturer. The assessment of this work will be up to 100% of the subject qualification.
In the End-of-Program Call, evaluations will be similar to the Second Call.
In case of plagiarism detection in any
of the student works, the grade obtained by the student in this course will
be a failing grade ( 0 ) and the course lecturer/s will communicate this issue
to the school Board of Directors so they may take those measures deemed appropriate. |
