Great class with lots of wonderful information!
I just wish the homeworks were less of a tedious exercise of controller tuning and more about implementing theory. Other than that, great course!

The course is very good and is designed such that even beginners can get a good grasp on the content that is made available. The discussion forums are great and help in making life easier.

This course was not a beginning level course as advertised.
Test cases for assignments were neither document nor otherwise explained within the course materials. Quizzes during the lecture were often unrelated to the material just presented or were given before the relevant material was taught.
The course creators obviously put a lot of time and effort into this course. So it is difficult for me to write such a critical review. However, they missed the mark with this one enough that I can't recommend the course.
Unfortunately I will not be completing this course only due to the fact that I have run out of time and patience to complete the last assignment.

Poor structure, pointlessly difficult tests, (you will have to type 100s of 5 digit numbers by hand into matlab, try to randomly guess some coefficients) and most importantly, the course is about automation in general. No specialization at all, this is something that is taught at the first or second year of any technical university.
Moreover, passing the assignments does not teach you anything about drones or robotics, just trying to reverse engineer how the grading code works. I passed the last one with 79/80, but my code was not actually flying the virtual drone

The quiz and assignment are poorly designed. Important issues are overlooked or just briefly discussed in lecture. The assignment focuses on matlab coding, which only emphasizes the coding technique. Do not recommend to audience with

Definitely not for beginners. I had to study Linear algebra, 3D mechanics first to understand this. Quiz questions are okay but programming assignments are too tough for people who are using matlab for first time.

The videos doesn't tell anything related to the test. How can I know the answers? Am I going to search them on the internet? Then what the meaning to learn this course?

Homeworks do not fully represent what's covered in class, and the lecturer fails to go into nearly as much depth as required to cover the actual subject matter.

Very poor. Assignments consist of transcription of formulae given in lectures, and then manually searching the parameter space for solutions.

Very bad course from basics coverage. New concepts are introduced haphazardly without giving context and very bad teaching method.

Advertised as an easy course, week 1 is simple but quickly becomes far too difficult by week 2... Too late for your refund.

since there is a lot of math involved, there should be some carefully written readings. (not only slides or phd thesis)

No help, and explanation about final code. You have to research everything about yourself trying to understand it

Outdated course, and requires a lot of knowledge in math and physics before starting

The last assignment was very tough. Overall I enjoyed the course.
