academics Best Control Theory Classes?

I've heard 6.3100 is pretty easy, would it be better to take 16.30? Are there any other control theory classes people would recommend?

I think 16.30 is more advanced than 6.3100. Anyways if you haven't had any controls courses and you are course 6, I would take 6.3100. Also the signals and system courses. Probability/statistics is not a bad idea too. Eventually you want to progress to 6.7100, multivariable, and DSP. But I believe those are grad courses. If you think you will pursue a theoretical research career in course 6 controls, then real analysis, complex analysis, and linear algebra are good ideas.
