II. COURSE POLICY
The class and examinations start punctually according to the established schedule. The
students will be allowed to enter up to 10 minutes after the start of the class. After this,
the door will be closed.
Any cellphone, mp3 player, tablet or electronic device will have to be turned off during
the class. Should the student refuse to do so, he will be asked to leave the classroom.
During examinations the use of said devices is also prohibited, as well as any form of
plagiarism, interrupting a classmate to solicit information or to use some type of
unauthorized oral or written help. In the case of lessons and examinations, non-
observation of these dispositions will mean sanctions described in the code of ethics and
internal regulation of the ESPOL. Nevertheless, the students will need to have, for every
evaluation and class, the implements necessary implements to develop the assessment
(calculators, rules, pens, etc.).
The student will pass the subject based on his or her own knowledge and will fail it based
on the lack of knowledge. There are neither favors nor discriminations. Do not lose time
asking either for undeserved points or additional tests at the end of the semester.
Only 3 evaluations are taken, there are no makeup tests, exercises, extra work, duties or
"exclusive" extra lessons for a student because of low grades as determined by the class
policy.
The plagiarism of written tasks (Art 7 of the code of ethics of the ESPOL) will also be
subject to sanctions, which can include the annulment of the assessment or task, for the
one who copies as well as for the one who lets his work be copied. It is highly
recommended not to take unnecessary risks but to do your own work.
Support materials and study aids will be uploaded to SIDWEB opportunely. This website
is tied extensively to the accounts of the students email accounts. Fail to check your
ESPOL email account is no excuse for not presenting homework or not being informed
about any important announcement.
After the week of examinations, the corrected exams will be handed back within 8 days
to be checked with the teacher before the teacher uploads the final grades. Homework
will be sent in the first and second partial and will be given back to the students. There
are no time extensions as far as deadlines.

First Exam Question >> Students are evaluated in their ability to simulate theoretically a transmission line and compare
result with an actual simulator.
The following rubric was used to measure three criteria of performance and four levels.
The following criteria was used to evaluate the result of learning outcome H:
Initial 0% 0% 38%
Excelence 6% 0% 6%
To verify the meeting of 60% of goal 3, Exemplary and Satisfactory levels were taken
into account, with the following results obtained:
Criterion 1 63%
Criterion 2 50%
Criterion 3 50%
Results analysis
As the data shows, criterion two and three were not met, however criterion one the
goal was met.
As for criterion one, 63% of students were founded in satisfactory level and exemplary
level, they were able to identify more than one impact of the use of LED lights, even
some of them describe problems associated with health. On the other hand 37% of
students were not capable to recognize more than one impact, the just concentrate in
inrush current.
As for criterion two, 50% of the students found at satisfactory and exemplary level
were able to measure or use data from scientific sources to measure the impact. 50%
of the students were unable to identify a way to measure the impact of solutions.
In criterion three, 50% of the students found at satisfactory or exemplary level, they
propose a method to reduce or eliminate the effect caused by inrush current of LED
lights and other effects. 50% of the students at unsatisfactory or developing label were
unable propose another solution than divide the lighting circuits and they do not
analyze other methods.
Remedial Actions
As a remedial action, during the next semesters is necessary to organize at least two
workshops, in which the students with the help of the professor analyze case of study
of different solution implemented in engineering field, and find what the impacts are,
what the cause is, who are the affected. For this action the students must read scientific
papers and measure or find a measure done by other scientific researchers and finally
propose a method to eliminate or mitigate the impact identified.

considered, with the following results obtained:
Criterion 1 63%
Criterion 2 56%
Criterion 3 56%
Results analysis
As the data shows, criterion two and three were not met, however criterion one the
goal was met.
As for criterion one, 63% of students were founded in satisfactory level and exemplary
level, they could structure their laboratory report showing the variables necessary to
perform a simulation. On the other hand, 37% of students were not capable to show
all variables necessary for the simulation, some of them just showed the data collect
at the laboratory.
As for criterion two, 56% of the students found at satisfactory and exemplary level
could identify a theoretical or a computational method to simulate the transmission
line. In contrast, 54% of the students couldnt simulate the line or they did it in an
incorrect manner.
In criterion three, 56% of the students found at satisfactory or exemplary level, they
analyze the method and results, show the results in a comprehensive way using tables
and graphics. 24% of the students at unsatisfactory or developing level showed poor
results and method analysis.
Remedial Actions
It is necessary to solve more problems in which there must be more than one method
to be used. The problems will show alternatives in method to be use, during workshops
each group will choose one method, and when they have the results, they will show it
to the other students, and a comparison must be performed.
During the performing of workshops, the lecturer must guide the students to compare
not only the results, but also the method used. Analyze the difficulties of each method
must be a key part, nevertheless the results must be statistically analyzed and check
the accuracy of it.
