Moodle access

The course has an associated course in the Moodle of the faculty, for which the Neptun system automatically enrols students (https://edu.ttk.bme.hu/course/view.php?id=2052).

Recommended reading

  • Dennis L. Eggleston, Basic Electronics for Scientists and Engineers, Cambridge University Press (2011), ISBN 978-0511975240
  • Supplementary lecture notes (available in Moodle)

Course requirements

The course ends with a coursework grade made up from 3 parts:

  1. Homework (H): There will be 3 homeworks assigned in the Moodle system after Exercises 2, 4 and 6 with maximum score 10 points each. There will be no grade threshold and repeat possibility. A minimum 2 of 3 homeworks must be submitted.
  2. Indoor test (T): There will be 1 indoor test scheduled for Week 11 (during the lecture). Maximum score is 50 points with test grade threshold: 40% (20 points). Repeat on Week 14 (outside of class time).
  3. Project work (P): There will be 1 project work that includes the detailed analysis of a simple circuit to be designed for a prescribed task. Work will be done in groups. Maximum score is 20 points for the whole group without individual distinction. There will be no grade threshold and repeat possibility. Submission is necessary and requested on Week 14 the latest.

 

Conditions for grade:

Attending at least 70% of exercise classes + passing all 3 course requirements.

Evaluation:

The final score (F) will be computed in a linear fashion: F = H + T + P = 3*10+50+20 = 100 (maximum) using the following limits:
