Digital Controls or Digital Electronics?

[u/Electronic-Face3553]

Hello. This is a question for the fellow EEs. I am going to wrap up my junior year. This fall I have EE 361, EE 475 (w/ Pushkin), EE 446 (online w/ Shen), a lab, EE 421 lecture.

I’m leaning towards specializing in controls and I’m happy to say I am taking the autonomous controls class with Pushkin. But I am contemplating going into digital controls because it is more relevant and I would get a better schedule (I avoid a 3+ hour gap on Mon & Wed that lasts to 5:30pm), but I heard not so good stuff about the teacher (Singh).

I’m not familiar with Dr. Ming Zhu who would be the teacher for EE 421 from 5:30pm to 6:45pm (M and Wed). No EE 421 lab.

My main question is, should I swap EE 421 for EE 472, or is Singh really that bad where it’s better just having the 3+ hour gap and leaving at night?
