5. Rigid Body Simulation | 20.01.2025 | 23.01.2025 | 07.02.2025 |
Release: Assignments will be made available via OPAL.
Briefing: Supervisors present the assignments.
Submission: Hand in your solutions by this date - upload via OPAL until 23:59. (theory: either in physical form on A4 paper to chair staff until 16:00, or digitally until 23:59)
Evaluation: Practical solutions are assessed by the tutor and receive a score based on correctnes and task fulfillment.
Organization
Enroll in this course to participate.
On the release date, the new exercise tasks will become available here in OPAL.
On the briefing date, the supervisor will explain the assignment and give hints to solve it during a short (<30min) on-site briefing in the exercise time-slot.
On the submission date, students have to make sure that their solution is uploaded to OPAL by 23:59pm.
Passing Criteria: At least 50% of the achievable regular score from assignments 1 to 5 and at least 1 point in the theory and 2 points in the practical tasks of each assignment. You must form teams of two or three students to solve the assignments. Inform the course supervisor via email once you form a team ‒ your deadline to do so is the 27.10.2024. If you do not announce a team (or reach out to us when you have trouble finding a team), we will be assuming you do not want to take part in the exercise. You can still stay enrolled to receive updates and announcements about the lecture.
Bonus Points
An exercise score over the passing criterion of 50% will earn you bonus points for exams. Points on top of 50% are converted to percent with respect to full achievable exercise score (excluding exercise-internal bonus points). Achieving full points in the exercise results in a bonus of 10% in your exam (for example +6 points for a 60 points exam), while just passing the exercise at 50% yields no bonus points.
In case of oral exams, the oral grade 4.0|3.7|3.3|…|1.3|1.0 is converted into points 50|55|60|…|90|95 on a 100-scale; then bonus points are added using the same scheme as written exams, and a final grade of 4.0|3.7|..|1.3|1.0 is given according to whether at least 50|55|…|90|95 points have been reached overall.
