Activitats d'avaluació:

As this is a presential course, the student is advised to attend regularly the sessions. Some attendance controls can be carried out during the theory, exercises and lab sessions.

The evaluation involves several activities:
1) Lab/computer sessions continuous assessment (LCA): The students will work in teams inside the lab groups. Reports have to be delivered at the professor request. The team must have the report completed in the prescribed dates (usually the next session), otherwise they’ll get a 0 grade for that task. It is necessary to participate in all the lab/computer sessions and also to present all the reports. The team is responsible to keep a folder with all this content available at each session. The grade is shared by the group but, if idle members are detected, they will be excluded from the group mark.

2) Exercises continuous assessment: Some exercises apart from the examples explained in the classroom will be proposed to the students. Some of them will be open exercises or exercises with no answer. These ones will be delivered by the group under the same conditions as the lab reports (ECA).

2) There will be only one final exam. The final grade will be calculated as the biggest grade out of
• 0,6*FE+0,2*LCA+0,2*ECA
• FE
No evaluation activity can be retaken.

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 doesn't participate in any of the continuous assessment activities or abandons them before November 1th.

Lab/Computer room sessions:
Four of the sessions will be done in a computer room uning MATLAB/SIMULINK or WORKING MODEL 2D software.

Session description:

1- Range of movement of a four-bar linkage. Grashof's law.
2- WM2D: Linkage analysis.
3- WM2D: Static and dynamic balancing of a four-bar linkage.
4- MATLAB: Four-bar linkage synthesis.
5- MATLAB: Cam design.

Language: The Moodle site of this course will contain enough information for the student to follow the contents and do the programmed activities. This documentation will be in English. Teaching, however, will be done in Catalan.
