Comment:
One of the best instructors I ever had, period. Amazing, concise notes, excellent lectures, passionate about the material and about teaching. We need more professors like Dr Westwick. I was worried I wasn't going to do well on his exams but he also is attentive to the pressures of that as well. We need more like Dr. Westwick.

If you thought 441 didn't make much sense, take 541 (seriously!). Dr. Westwick is clear and insightful, and after controls II you'll understand both courses. Also, he's very approachable and spouts great anecdotes if you chat with him after class.

Once you take ENEL 541 with Dr. Westwick, you'll come out with a solid understanding of Control Systems. His assignments are a bit long, but they make you understand the material very well.

Great class - Westwick is hilarious. He types up all of his notes and he gives you ten years worth of old exams and full solutions so it's not hard to do well if you study.

An amazing lecturer! Dr. Westwick is one of the best profs in electrical engineering. 541 is challenging, but he makes the material interesting and insightful. Lectures are engaging and occasionally punctuated with Monty Python references.

This guy is absolutely horrible, tests are rediculously hard and long, very tough marker (who gives seven twelvthes of a point?), pretty much the worst prof at the school.

What a waste of time to go to his lecture. this prof just reads the slideshow word by word (literally) and he is extremely hard to follow. his exams are really hard so be prepared for some serious sh!t.
