Methodology

The subject has a theoretical/practical orientation, combining classroom lectures, laboratory sessions and autonomous learning on the part of the student.

Classroom lectures will consist of theoretical explanations of the fundamental aspects of each lesson, as well as solutions to questions raised by the students based on their own self-study. There will be two kinds of laboratory sessions: simulation on a software package specialized on dynamical systems and control and real-time control of industrial devices, where the students will test the validity of the theoretical apparatus of the course.

To understand the subject and secure an adequate performance, the student must comply with the following requirements:

  • Regular class attendance.
  • Careful reading and thorough study of all materials provided for each lesson.
  • Solving the exercises, case-studies and homework assignments suggested along the course.
  • Active participation in all discussions held in the classroom.
  • Adequate preparation of the laboratory sessions, according to the lecture guides.
  • Use of office hours to solve any doubts that may arise during the course.
Complementing the teaching, the tool "MiAulario" will be used tofacilitate the communication between the students and the teacher. It will also make available the schedule of the differenct activities and the teaching material, and it will be used to receive the assingned works.

Evaluation

Quizzes will be held throughout the course, in which the students must prove having aquired the required knowledge. They will take place at the end of each part, whose approximate duration is one month, although it may change according to the academic schedule. Quizzes of parts I and II weight 15% each, and that of part III weights 10% in the final grade. There is a retake for all of them.

Regarding the laboratory sessions, an exam will be held at the end of the course in which the student must show the practical skills gained during the course. There is no retake for this axam, and its weight in the final grade is 20%.

A final exam is held at the end of the semester. Its purpose is to assess the student's ability to undertake the design of a digital control system. Theoretical contents are not evaluated. Rather, the idea is to apply the aquired knowledge in the analysis of a simplified control problem, and in the design of digital controllers for it. Simultaneously, the student will have the chance to pass the quizzes that he or she has not passed yet.

Students who do not take this final exam will be evaluated as "absent", even if they have taken some of the quizzes.

 R3, R4 CG1 CG2 CG3 CG4 CG5 CEI6-A CEI9-A  Quizzes, Exam  40  Yes 4

The final grade will be calculated according to the aforenetioned weights for those students whose marks in the quizzes and exam are no lower than the minimum required. To pass the subject, the global grade must not be lower than 5.

At the end of the course, a retake exam will be held, according to the regulation of the evaluation processes of the Public University of Navarra. All students can take this exam, either those who have not passed some of the tests, or those who want to improve their grades.

After that, the final grade is calculated for all the students. If it is not lower than 5, but the mark in any of the tests is lower than the minimum one, the final grade will be 4.9.
