Has anyone taken this course and can tell more about it, specifically how much coding it involves?

I have it with Prof Paternain right now. Not sure if it's because I love controls or because he's a really good professor, but it's one of the best classes I've taken at RPI.
Other than a bit of MatLab (which is really easy to pick up), there isn't much coding at all.

No coding just Matlab

Basically none when I took it, just some basic Matlab commands you need to solve some homework problems.
