I have an A in the class, but I don't feel I'm actually learning anything.
It will be a useful course for jobs involving controls and is not too difficult.

Some repersentative comments/advice from students that they would have liked to have prior to taking this course

The beginning of the course dealt with many mechanical examples that I have not studied since Freshman year (4 years ago). This is an EEL course, yet there has been only one example with a circuit in it all semester.

Take the lab after the course.

It needs more examples pertaining to the field of electrical engineering.

Homework may seem tough, but tests are easy.

Do the homework to prepare for the tests since they represent them fairly well.
