Reviews of professor Chris Vermillion

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, homework is tough (have to know what you're doing)

I took MAE 521 (MIMO control) with Dr. V. He posts all his lecture notes online, and makes very helpful videos with hints about homework and tests. The assignments are not easy, but the homework solutions make great resources when studying for tests. Attendance is not required, but it's easy to fall behind if you don't show up.

Good: He gives extra credit opportunities, lectures well, course is clearly laid out, and he seems like he could be a fun guy, but read below. Bad: The HW and Tests are monstrous, he's oddly deflective and a little rude in office hours, no follow-up on assignments other than posting a solution. If you don't get it, you're on your own. TAs were meh
