Control Engineering: Final Exam, more info

Hello All,
I hope you might be aware of the change in the pattern of the final exam, it will now be an ONLINE exam.

Syllabus: The final exam would cover all topics from Module 1-7, Module 10 lecture 1, Module 11 and 12.
This means, there would be no problems on design of lead/lag compensators, both time and frequency domain. This also eliminates the need for Matlab.
The concepts of right half zeros (module 10 L2), will also not be part of the exam; this was just a supplementary material.

You may want to bring in your own scientific calculators.
You are also expected to remember all basic formulas and expressions.

There will be NO negative marking.

Let us know in case you have anymore questions.

Regards,
Ramkrishna
