1001752 - ELETTRONICA APPLICATA

The assessment and evaluation examinations consist of:

- an oral test, aimed at ascertaining the understanding of the theoretical methods for the analysis and synthesis of simple electronic circuits, maximum mark 30/30. The exam consists of answering three questions in writing, covering the entire syllabus. Time allowed: 45 minutes.

- a practical test, aimed at ascertaining the ability to analyze and dimension practical circuits that include standard electronic components with a circuit simulation program, maximum score 30/30. The exam consists of a PSpice simulation, including the design and analysis of a given circuit. Time allowed: 60 minutes.

The final grade is the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained in the two exams.

In order to pass the exam, with a minimum grade of 18/30, it is necessary that the subject knowledge/skills be at least at an elementary level for both the written and oral parts.

30 – 30 with Honors (Excellent)

The student:

* demonstrates comprehensive and detailed knowledge of the subject: masters the relevant content, uses appropriate and precise terminology, identifies and explains the main concepts, and incorporates personal insights and critical reflections into their synthesis;

* shows an excellent understanding of the subject: clearly distinguishes between primary ideas and supporting arguments, effectively frames the key issues, strengthens arguments with references to supplementary materials or independent study, and develops interdisciplinary connections;

* displays well-established ability to apply knowledge and critically analyze results;

* presents the material in a clear and well-structured manner: the exposition is coherent, logical, mature, and concise.

28 – 29 Very Good

The student:

* demonstrates thorough knowledge of the subject: masters the relevant content, uses appropriate terminology, and identifies and explains most of the principal concepts;

* shows solid understanding of the subject: identifies most of the key issues, although not always clearly distinguishing between primary and secondary arguments, and supports discussion with references to supplementary materials or independent study;

* demonstrates excellent ability to apply knowledge and analyze results;

* presents the material clearly and in a well-articulated manner: the exposition is organized, logical, mature, and concise, although minor inaccuracies may occur.

25 – 27 Good

The student:

* demonstrates broad knowledge of the subject: is familiar with the relevant content, though explanations may not always be complete; uses the appropriate terminology, though sometimes imprecisely; identifies the key concepts but may not always explain them fully or accurately;

* shows adequate understanding of the subject: recognizes the main issues but is not always able to contextualize them fully;

* demonstrates good ability to apply knowledge;

* presents the material clearly, though not always comprehensively, with a somewhat schematic organization and reasoning that may occasionally appear fragmented or repetitive.

22 – 24 Satisfactory

The student:

* demonstrates an acceptable knowledge of the subject: is familiar with most of the content but shows some gaps and occasional confusion regarding certain important (though non-essential) concepts;

* shows a basic but sufficient understanding of the subject: does not always succeed in clearly framing all topics or may do so with some inaccuracies;

* demonstrates satisfactory ability to apply the fundamental concepts of the subject;

* presents the material correctly but without a fully clear and coherent structure, sometimes including less relevant elements in the discussion.

18 – 21 Pass

The student:

* demonstrates limited knowledge of the subject: is familiar with the most relevant content but shows numerous gaps; identifies several key concepts but is unable to explain them fully or precisely;

* shows a basic understanding of the subject: has difficulty distinguishing the main issues and does not always contextualize them accurately due to incomplete or imprecise knowledge;

* shows uncertainty in applying the fundamental concepts of the subject;

* presents the material in a somewhat unclear and disorganized manner, with fragmented and occasionally repetitive reasoning, and terminology that is not always used appropriately.

Fail

The student:

* demonstrates poor and fragmented knowledge of the subject: lacks familiarity with essential content, shows significant gaps, and fails to identify key concepts;

* displays serious misunderstandings, is unable to answer several questions or solve several problems, and makes errors in applying the fundamental concepts of the subject;

* does not achieve an acceptable level of analytical reasoning or articulation of ideas regarding the subject.
