 The point is learning,

Learning requires effort.

There are no shortcuts here!

Every time you seek to find a shortcut in learning, what you are actually
doing is cheating yourself.

First: Never ever limit yourself to a single source of information
Use multiple sources

Lecture, Book, etc.

Grade: C

Secondly: Your use of information sources must be full of life to be fully effective.
Approach each of your sources with specific questions in mind, with the goal of finding
answers to those questions:

Grade: C+ or B

Thirdly: Apply what you collect from your sources.
Don't just let that information lie idle in your brain – put it into
immediate action.
This is where you begin to construct your own understanding:

Grade: B+

Lastly: Treat the results of your application as another source of information, querying
and learning from these efforts as though they were primary sources (like experts or
books). This last step establishes a feedback loop, enabling the learner to self-correct
errors in understanding:

Control Systems (Definition)
Comprises subsystems and processes (or plants) assembled for the
purpose of obtaining a desired output with desired performance, given
a specified input.

Signals flow from the input, through the system and

produce an output
14
 Control Systems (Example)
Consider an elevator. When the fourth-floor button is pressed, the
elevator rises to the fourth floor with a speed and floor-leveling
accuracy designed for passenger comfort.

Two measures of
performance are :
(1) the transient response
(2) the steady-state error.

Passenger comfort and passenger patience are dependent upon the

transient response
