De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Mondeling bepaalt 50% van het eindcijfer
WPO Praktijkopdracht bepaalt 50% van het eindcijfer
Binnen de categorie Examen Mondeling dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
Binnen de categorie WPO Praktijkopdracht dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
The student has to pass (with a mark more than or equal to 10/20) for each of the three mentioned parts to pass the course.
Weighting: 25% uC design, 25% CMOS design, 50% lectures oral
Weighting is not implemented in case a student fails on one or more of the three parts. In that case, the final mark will then be equal to the lowest of the three marks. Every part a student once passed (10/20 or more) remains acquired forever, and is not to be retaken in a next exam session or year.
