In the materials page, I have posted the link to the quails evaluation for the course, for both lectures and tutorials. This is your chance of expressing an opinion about the course and the course content, and to help the future generation of students (by giving us feedback on what works in the course and what doesn't work well and should be revised). As the course is about feedback control, I am pretty sure you understand - by now - that information is crucial and allows us to improve. Please take the time to fill in the survey for the course evaluation.

As we saw today during the lecture, the newest version of the ControlSystems library in Julia does not support immediate plot of step responses. The simplest way I found to plot the signal is the following:

> using LinearAlgebra
> using ControlSystems
> using Plots
  [definition of Phi, Gamma, C, D, sampling_period]
> S = ss(Phi, Gamma, C, D, sampling_period);
> y, t, x = step(S);
> plot(t, y');

The transpose in the plot is necessary for column/row consistency.
