Write both electrode reactions first as reductions:
(1)
(2)
The conventional cell reaction runs with oxidation on the left and reduction on the right. Reverse the first equation and multiply the second by four:
(3)
Four electrons pass through the external circuit per reaction as written. This direction consumes the oxide; deposition requires the reverse electrolysis direction.
