What is Reddit's opinion of Modern Control Engineering?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I used Ogata for my control subjects at uni. I thought it was a decent introductory text- although I never pursued the subject beyon what I did at school. There's a pdf floating around on the internet somewhere.

Thank you for putting in the time to look up these courses. If you don't mind, can you please tell me how taking this modern control sequence compares to just reading the textbook linked below? I am asking strictly in terms of content/knowledge to be gained (as being mentored is always preferable to reading the textbook alone).

Background in you are curious:

I am preparing to take this course at Waterloo - http://compneuro.uwaterloo.ca/courses/syde-750/syde-556-course-outline.html - which mentions control theory in its description.
