Winter 2020 - Iwasaki is an incredible professor. He went though everything step by step and made it all super clear, did tons of example problems, and connected everything to actual physical examples. The homework was good practice and reasonable, the only issue was that exams were pretty tough. Still, I 100% taking this class with this professor.

Winter 2025 - Overall a great course. You learn about multivariable, optimal control in the form of LQR, Observer control, and some H2 Optimal control. Prof. Iwasaki is a wonderful lecturer, and really great at answering student questions. If you're going into aerospace flight control like I am (or controls in general), this course is a must. Taking this course helped me immensely at my GNC Internship I had the following summer (I'm writing this review a bit late). The material can be a bit challenging, but is really satisfying to learn. Prof. Iwasaki does a good job linking the mathematics to real world concepts, and you walk out of the class feeling like you can control real, multi-variable systems! The project is also pretty fun to do, though a little bit time consuming as expected. This year, the final was a take-home exam, so that made it a bit more manageable towards the end of the quarter.
