1. Know how to determine system type for a system with unity feedback2. Know the transfer function (form and number of poles and zeros) for a P, PI, PD, and PID compensator and how they affects system type and system dynamics.3.

Know a few basic Rules for Plotting a Positive 󰇛180°󰇜 Root Locus (found in 5.2.1 & 5.2.2 Summary) 5. RULE 1. The  branches of the locus start at the poles of 󰇛󰇜 and  branches end on the zeros of 󰇛󰇜6. RULE 2. The loci are on the real axis to the left of an odd number of poles and zeros.7. RULE 3*. The loci are attracted to zeros and repelled by poles. (Brother Smith's rule)8. Understand what a root‐locus plot represents / shows.9.
