This is the worst structured class I have ever taken at UMD. Not only is Baras practically unreachable, the TA's clearly are so disconnected from what he expects. The class is nothing like it is described on Testudo and you will basically be learning SysML the entire class. The TA's and Baras told us to study the 700 lecture slides and that SysML would not be on the midterm, spoiler alert: that was the only thing on the midterm. Baras does seem like he wants his students to make it as a systems engineer but everyone I talked to in the class had no interest in systems at all after this class. Expect to go into your final and midterm presentations just to be told you did the entire thing incorrectly and be rudely interrupted throughout it. Grade data is fine and TA's said everyone would pass but imo the tedious busy work is not worth it.
