Learning Objectives
General: Quantitatively predict the consequences of a variety of phenomena with calculation tools. Ensure advanced and in-depth scientific training in one of the fundamental fields of Physics that allows for disciplinary or interdisciplinary innovation approaches.
Specific: Understanding the concepts, basic principles and phenomenology of Electromagnetism and Optics. Understanding through phenomenology the history of the synthesis of Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field and the integrative perspective of Maxwell's equations; ability to apply the concepts of Electromagnetism and Optics to problem solving, particularly regarding their technological applications.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The evaluation in this UC will be continuous through the realization of 3 mini-tests and 1 global frequency of Multiple-Choice Questions (PEM), to be discounted and without consultation elements. Participation to T and TP classes will be counted. The Teaching-Learning Classification (CEA) of this UC, 0-20 values, is calculated using the following formula:
NF of CEA = 0.05 x NP + 0.15 x NMT + 0.80 x NFG where:
NP - is the Participation Note, 0-20 values
NMT - is the Average Score of the Mini-Tests, 0-20 values, which is calculated using the following expression:
NMT = (MT1 + MT2 + MT3) / 3 where:
MTi - classification obtained in each of the 3 Mini-Tests (Moodle platform), 0-20 values, with i=1.2, and 3.
NFG - is the Global Frequency Grade, 0-20 values.
A form will be provided.
