  • Professor Gennaro is easily one of the best, if not the best professors I have had throughout all my studies at UW. Both in Undergrad and for my Masters. He writes all his notes on the whiteboard and does not post his lecture notes but the way he teaches the content is amazing. He has a passion for robotics and he teaches the course in a way which is very easy to follow and really broadens your knowledge of robotics. Highly recommend the course. The assignments can be tricky and the course is math heavy, but show up to class and make hand written notes and follow up with questions after class if needed.
