Activitats d'avaluació:

The evaluation involves several activities:

1) Lab/computer sessions (LAB): The students will work in teams inside the lab groups. Reports and exercices must be submitted by the student teams using Moodle in pdf files before a specific deadline. The grade is collective, but the professor can decide to give different marks if the performance of one member of the group is low.

2) Continuous assessment exercises (CAE): The students will work in teams inside the lab groups. Reports and exercices must be submitted by the student teams using Moodle in pdf files before a specific deadline. The grade is collective, but the professor can decide to give different marks if the performance of one member of the group is low.

3) A project (PRO) consisting of the recalculation of an existing mechanical element. This task will also be done in the lab teams. Everybody is responsible for the group and care will be taken to detect and penalise non collaborative members. This activity will be evaluated through a final report although the students can be called ot tutorials where their progression will be assessed and can influence the grade of this activity.

4) Approximately at midterm there will be a written proof (PAC) consisting of an exercise of an element similar to the ones that can appear in the final exam. The exercise will ask the student to do an analysis with the knowledge acquired up to date. This activity is individual.

5) In order to keep pace with the course, the student is expected to attend all lectures and exercise sessions in the weekly schedule. Daily (or sampling) controls will be done.

6) There will be one final exam (FE).

The activities LAB, CAE and PRO are done in teams that will be formed in the first week of the course.

The final grade (FG) consists of the maximum of the following:

If FE >= 4.0, then FG = MAX(FG1,FG2,FG3,FG4)

If FE < 4.0, then FG = MIN(MAX(FG1,FG2,FG3,FG4), 4.0)

where

FG1 = 0.5 * FE + 0.1 * PAC + 0.2 * PRO + 0.1 * LAB + 0.1 * CAE
FG2 = 0.6 * FE + 0.2 * PRO + 0.1 * LAB + 0.1 * CAE
FG3 = 0.9 * FE + 0.1 * PAC
FG4 = FE

Only the final exam (FE) has a resit.Only students whose grade FG after the first exam be between 3.0 and 4.99, will be allowed to resit the exam and get a new FE grade.

If a student has an attendance below 65% of the classroom sessions, does not attend the PAC, does not attend any of the lab sessions or does not deliver the PRO or any of the LCA, he/she will get a grade FG = FE.

Cheating in any of the evaluation activities is strongly advised against. If detected, it will imply a fail grade plus the corresponding academic penalties.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
The student will get a "No Presentat (NP)" grade if he/she doesn't sit at the final exam and does not participate in any of the continuous assessment activities or abandons them before November 1th.

Lab/Computer room sessions:
Some of the sessions will be done with the ANSYS software in a computer room of the School, while the others will take place in the Lab of Machine Design. The contents of the sessions will be announced at the beginning of the course.

Students are encouraged to interact with the professor in English.

All deliverables worked out by the sutdents individually or in teams must be correctly written and drawn.

All the deliverables will have a deadline after which they will not be accepted. Submissions must be done using Moodle and strictly in a single document in pdf format each.
