Theory classes. Basic theoretical concepts are introduced in an orderly and concise way for further practical development. Small activities are proposed to be developed by the student during the class.
Classes of problems. A series of problems is selected from the collection of each topic. The step-by-step resolution is shown for the most representative problems and the scheme for solving other problems is presented. Problem solving by students.
Seminars / Works:  Introduction to Simulink, PLC Programming, Simulink: Closed Loop Dynamics, Simulink: Frequency Response.
Moodle will be used as the virtual platform to communicate with students.

(a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities

The following are the activities of evaluation of the subject with its percentage of weight on the final grade. They are all individual.

- Activity 1 (5%). Practice. Introduction to Simulink.

- Activity 2 (5%). Practice. Programmable logic controller(PLC).

- Activity 3 (5%). Work. Simulink closed loop.

- Activity 4 (5%). Work. Simulink frequency response.

- Activity 5 (20%). Partial exam 1

- Activity 6 (35%). Partial exam 2

- Activity 7 (25%). Partial exam 3

Each partial exam consists of a theoretical and a practical part.

In order to be able to apply the calculation of the final grade, it is required a minimum score of 3.0 in each partial exam and an average score of partial exams higher than 4.5. If the criterion is not met, the maximum final grade for the subject will be 4.0.

The non-presence in class when evaluation tests are carried out is a zero of the activity, without possibility of retake.

b) Programming of evaluation activities

The schedule of evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the course and will be made public through the Moodle.

(c) Recovery process

Students may apply for make-up as long as they have submitted to a set of activities that represent at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject.

The retake exam will include all the contents of the subject. This exam will consist of a theoretcial and a practical part. The mark of this exam will replace the mark of the activities 5-7(partial exams). A minimum of 4.5 in the exam will be required to apply this calculation. If it is not met, the maximum final grade for the subject will be 4.0.

According tothe coordination of the Grade and the direction of the School of Engineering the following activities cannot be recovered:

- Activites 1 to 4

- Evaluative activities of any type in which the student has committed an irregularity (copy, plagiarize, let copy ...).

d) Grade review procedure

For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated where the student can review the activity with the professor. In this context, complaints can be made about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the professor responsible for the subject. If the student does not submit to this review, this activity will not be reviewed at a later date.

e) Qualifications

Honor grade. Awarding an honor roll grade (MH) is the decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. UAB regulations state that MH can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. Up to 5% of the total number of students enrolled may be awarded.

A student will be considered non-assessable (NA) if he has not presented to a set of activities the weight of which equals a minimum of two thirds ofthe total grade of the subject.

f) Student Irregularities, Copying and Plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an evaluation act shall be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting copy, etc. in any of the evaluation activities will involve suspending with a zero. Evaluation activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable.

h) Evaluation of Repeating Students

The only change in the assessment of the subject repeaters is the possibility of maintaining thegrades of the 1-4 activities taken previouslt. This option must becommunicated by email to the professor responsible, no later than 15 days after the start of classes.

i) Single assessment

This course allows for a single assessment, following the procedure applicable at the UAB.

The single assessment will consist of 1) an exam including all the contents of the course (75% of the final mark) and 2) the delivery on the same day of activities 1-4 (25% of the final mark).

The date of the single assessment will be the same day as activity 7 (Test 3).

The revision of the final mark follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.

The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous assessment.
