  2. Gittes,

    I am at work to grab a few sheets of 4 cycle semi-log paper.

    I am looking at an open loop transfer function frequency response question for one student.

    The faculty member deliverying that course does not use a textbook for the course.

    Why wouldn't a faculty member use a textbook for the course? None available, no, certainly not for a classical subject like control systems.

    Equipped with an appropriate textbook a student could; check the validity of the teacher's theoretical statements and computational work, ask the teacher to "solve question #5 (from the text)",read and reread the text material until they actually understood the course contents.

    Don't forget to check the Sunshine List for your favourite educational institutions.
