 Pre-Assessment

Pre-assessment will include a discussion of electronic basics to determine how much knowledge the students already have of electronics and batteries. Since this unit is intended for students beginning their study of electronics, it is reasonable to expect that many of the students will have very little pre-existing knowledge about the subject.

A mathematics-related pre-assessment will also occur, using some of the calculations necessary for the unit. The mathematics pre-assessment could be issued again after the unit, to see if students' arithmetic skills improved.
