The final exam for clearing ADAPTIVE CONTROL consists of an oral exam focused on the topics discussed in the classroom. Two (or three) general topics are assigned to the student as a written task, each within a fixed time window and then discussed with the teacher at the end of the scheduled time. The lessons are contained in the Notes below and collected in chapters, with Summary and Notation sections.
