Problem and laboratory classes

17 fevereiro 2020, 13:31 • Pedro Batista

Welcome to the course State-Space Control.

 

In this course, in addition to lectures, there are also problem and laboratorial classes. In this announcement, we provide some details about the latter.

 

Problem classes are biweekly and there are two shifts (Shifts PB07 and PB08). In order to guarantee a more balanced occupation, we ask you to register in one of the shifts. The registration for problem classes opens, in Fenix, on Wednesday, February 26, at 9 am and closes on Thursday, February 27, at 17 pm. The registration for problem classes is individual. In the first week you can attend any of the shifts, provided there is enough room. After that, please attend the shift in which you have registered.

 

The laboratory consists of three sessions and is carried out preferentially in groups of 4 students. Some groups of 3 students may be accepted, depending on availability. There are 5 different shifts (Shifts L02, L03, L04, L05, and L06) and each shift accommodates up to 7 groups. The registration for laboratory classes opens, in Fenix, Monday, March 2, at 9 am and closes Tuesday, March 3, at 17 pm. Please note that:

1.      The registration for laboratory classes is atomic, i.e., each group of 3 or 4 students must register simultaneously.

2.      Students are responsible for forming the laboratory groups prior to the registration. The registration starts only in the third week to give students enough time to organize themselves in groups.

3.      Students are strictly forbidden from registering elements that have not agreed to be part of the group. If this rule is broken, the entire group may lose its registration and need to register again.

4.      During the online registration, the maximum number of groups per laboratorial shift is 6. This should be enough to enroll all students and guarantee equally balanced shifts.

5.      Students with special needs (health reasons, working students, etc.) should contact me, by e-mail, before the registration opens. To register for a specific shift before the registration opens, the students must provide evidence that justifies early registration. For laboratory registration, the student must already have a group to register, with the agreement of all group members.

6.      Students that are unable to register via Fenix should be at the laboratory (LSDC2, 5^th floor of the North Tower) Wednesday, March 4, at 10 pm.

7.      Students that have obtained a positive laboratory grade in the last two years do not need to enroll in the laboratory.

 

Any questions concerning the registration process should be directly sent to me by e-mail. My email is available by clicking on my name, in the main webpage of Linear and Nonlinear State-Space Control Theory, provided that you are logged in Fenix.

The schedule for problem and laboratory classes has been published in both the Problem and Laboratory sections of the course webpage.

 

Have a great semester.
