Abstract :
This contribution describes the experience of updating a basic digital electronics course in a Computer Science grade as a consequence of the new grades introduced by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in a Spanish university. The group under study is special in because it is taught in English under a pilot scheme carried out by the University of Seville. Besides this singularity, a deep update of the teaching methodology and evaluations has been carried on. In this contribution the authors analyze the results of the new methodology taking into account the academic grades of the students and the opinions of both students and instructors.
