Calculations, procedures, and definitions do notconstitute a concept, but all are involved in problem solving performance. Mastery of concepts istherefore a necessary but not sufficient condition for mastery of electronics. As such, we differen-tiate between this concept exam and a final examination given in a course. Both types of examsare necessary to provide assessment on different aspects of knowledge.In order to determine which concepts have been mastered, we measure students' performance onquestions centered only on basic understanding of the concepts. The question should not require acalculator, and should be able to be answered in a couple of
