Comment:
Took his linear systems course - was better than I expected. Lectures are often over-stuffed with theory, without mention of its application until the final two lectures. Exams were super easy, and very similar to those of the previous year. He was very willing to help outside of class, but has little tolerance of stupid questions during lecture.

he's great professor, but expects a lot from his students. he's always available for questions, but he expects you to exhaust every single resource you have before going to him.

Comment:
kapila thinks he is the god of controls & the world revolves around it.he writes on the board faster than the speed of light & by the time u copy the notes he's already erased them.he completely killed my interest in controls.He is obsessive compulsive with his work even copyrighting and signing his hw solutions does not curve grades at all BEWARE!

He should be banned from teaching any class that is required. If you dont want to be there, and have a love for the material, he will make it hell.

this guy has no love for his student. dont know y he became a professor. He doesn't curve grades, and he'll hate you without even knowing your name. your late in his class once and you'll die, phone rings in his class and you'll die, Breathe too hard and you'll die, fall asleep and you'll die twice. Good luck guys if u hav him.

Comment:
I have the feeling that he detests the youth of america. He is a great mind with little patience. Be serious when taking a class with him, because he will not change who he is: a demanding professor that expects you to remember everything you have ever learned in your academic career. Exams are easy

Terrible personality..unhelpful..seems like he hates the students more than he hates teaching. Tons of notes, which are almost impossible to read due to his tiny chicken scratch handwriting. Avoid at all costs.
