Students are required to register (read instructions below) to the course Google Group [Control Systens 2024] and wait for the approval.
This will be the tool to share files and communicate with the students any useful information.

In  particular:

• enrolled students at Sapienza must apply using their institutional Sapienza email (@studenti.uniroma1.it) and use their last (cognome) and first name (nome), in this order (in "Nome Visualizzato" or "Visualized Name")
  
• students that are not yet officially enrolled (including Erasmus) should specify in the request "not yet enrolled with matricola number xxxxxxx" (specify your matricola number) and should use their first and last name as they will be registered in Infostud. This is a temporary solution until they get their institutional Sapienza email.

Warning regarding messages from students:
I will answer only emails sent from the institutional address @studenti.uniroma1.it

• Lectures (available during the course): topics and material (slides and links to online OCW lessons). There will be slides updates during the semester.

• as an option you could you the online version (accessible directly from your browser) without the need to install it. Otherwise you should at least have Matlab, the Control Toolbox and Simulink)

Reminder: exams are "in presence" (see here, there is also an English version)

Exams schedule (always check for last minute changes):
For the extraordinary sessions (March and October) (check here to see if you are allowed, also in English).

Be aware that registration closes several days before the exam.

If you realize that you will not attend the exam, you are kindly invited to notify me.

Too many students register and do not care about informing about their absence.

Read your institutional email for important information on the exam.

Warning: the exam will be marked as "bocciato" (failed) on Infostud from the second time on if it is largely unsatisfactory (e.g., if you failed in the January 2022 session and you fail again, then this second result may be registered as "bocciato")
