Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The examination is oral and it consists in three questions about all the topics. If required, the questions that require some calculation execution will be answered in a written form during the oral examination itself. The questions that require to draw some block diagrams, electric schemes, graphics, and the execution of analytical demonstrations will be answered in a written form during the oral examination itself. Real cases analysed during the course could require to provide a written report by the student. This report could be used to formulate one question during the examination.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
Students must explain the topics in a sufficiently corrected way using adequate technical words and phrases. The ability to demonstrate and to apply the principles of the industrial application of the electromagnetic fields will be checked, together with the ability to put in relationship several topics and to analyse real practical cases. The highest score will be obtained showing a deep knowledge of the topics presented using a valuable technical language.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
A score ranging from zero up to ten will be assigned to each question. The score will be given in thirtieths.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The final score is the sum of the score of all questions. The examination is passed if the total score will be equal or greater than eighteen. The “30/30 with distinction” score is reserved to those students who, in addition to a correct and complete answer to all questions, show a strong ability and autonomy in theoretical demonstrations.
