Kaiqing Zhang ENEE460 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/01/2023	Great professor. While there are no lecture notes or anything, he is really good at lecturing. He takes the time to review past lectures that are necessary to understand the new content he will be teaching. His homeworks are fair (3-4 problems every week) and follow closely to the textbook. His exams are quite similar to the homework. I like this professor a lot because of his ability to explain abstract mathematical concepts in a very layman intuitive fashion that simplifies control theory. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Andre Tits ENEE460 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/19/2022	Professor Tits is a super approachable professor that is committed to your advancing your knowledge. His lectures can be hard to follow sometimes as he occasionally makes mistakes while writing and explaining concepts, likely due to his age, BUT he always welcomes questions and addresses student's comments during his lectures. He is always happy and open to helping students who stop by whenever he's in his office, even outside of his posted office hours. (He will drop whatever he's doing to help students.) Some advice to those looking to take ENEE460 with him: Do all the homework! This develops your ability to attack questions he gives on his tests. While he also posts reading assignments, you could probably get by without them. That being said, the book can sometimes have details he might've glanced over during lecture. Listen to everything he says during lecture, especially when he talks about how to solve problems as this is likely what he expects from you on the exams. Do not fret if you bomb his midterm (I did), he gives out an optional project to boost your grade and the finals are relatively similar in problem type to his past exams. Note: His final is still challenging so make sure to give yourself lots of time to study and fill your cheat sheet! Watch Steve Brunton, Brian Douglas, Prof. Madan Gopal, etc. on YouTube for strengthening conceptual and mathematical foundations for the course.
Andre Tits ENEE460 Anonymous 12/27/2021	He is a nice guy. His lectures are okay, and he is knowledgeable in his field. BUT, his exams are challenging, and he is a really harsh grader. On top of that, a large percentage(about 80%) of the overall grade goes to those two exams(mid-term and final). Homework is challenging and takes a lot of time to do.
Eyad Abed ENEE460 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/20/2020	Not the best lectures, but he is a very helpful and kind professor that does everything in his power to help the students succeed. Massive curve of 10% as well, even though it technically was not needed (class average was around a ~79).
Andre Tits ENEE460 Expecting an A- LadyS 02/02/2013	I took 322 and 460 with Dr. Tits. His lectures are clear and to the point. I think he really cares about his students and their success in his classes (and as engineers in general). He is helpful during his office hours, easily-approachable and answers emails very quickly; he is also very nice. I highly recommend him.
