Learning objectives
To obtain general knowledge and basics of selected methods of description and analysis of electric circuits with practical application in computer science. To obtain detailed instructions and information about occupational safety with electric devices. To gain practical knowledge of working with fundamental electronic circuits in labs.
Ability to analyse electric circuits with practical application in computer science. Knowledge of safety regulations for work with electronic devices.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
This course takes place in the winter term of the first year of the bachelor's study programme. Thus, we expect that students have the high school level knowledge.

Progress assessment
During the semester, 6 laboratories (each for a maximum of 3 points), semestral project (max. 12 points) and mid semester exam (maximum 15 points) are assessed.
Mid-term exam and Final exam: The minimal number of points which can be obtained from the final exam is 27. Otherwise, no points will be assigned to a student. Laboratories are voluntary. To attend the laboratory in person, the participant has to be instructed on how to handle the electronic devices safely. The missed laboratory is possible to replace with the individual project after consultation with the lecturer.
Exam prerequisites:
- Obtain at least 3 points from the semester project and at least 6 points from laboratories.
