Teaching methods
The course is based on a progressive methodology that absolutely requires the active participation of the sudents to all the teaching activities :
- lectures and exercise sessions in aulas to learn about the professionnal concepts and methods to analyze electronic circuits,
- followed by their direct application in mantarory personal (home) works (SPICE simulation and practical experiments on circuits) .
The cases of study (circuits and analytic tools) to be developed in the personal works will be explained in depth in the courses and practised in the practical sessions of the weeks preceding the submission of the work report. Presence in the courses and exercise sessions is thus essential to realize these home works, in an quick and efficient way, in the intended schedule.

Evaluation methods
An oral or written exam (depending on the session) will be organized, in addition to a possible ongoing evaluation.
On-going evaluation works lead to a unique global mark. The non-respect of methodological guidelines, as defined on moodle, in particular with regards to personal production or fraud, for any work leads to a global mark of 0 for the on-going evaluation part.
Works on Moodle or Gradescope are thereby compulsory. The reports must be delivered for fixed dates during the quadrimester and must be individual. They count for 4 points in the final mark of the January and August exams. The mark obtained for the works cannot be changed for the August session.
