Abstract
This letter discusses the teaching of nonlinear control courses at the graduate level with emphasis on control design, presenting the views of the author about some of the challenges that the discipline is facing. The main concern raised in this letter is the current focus of the discipline on problems of equilibrium stabilization, both in teaching and research. The author contends that this focus is detrimental and it limits the perceived relevance of nonlinear control courses to graduate students working in other areas. The author proposes that changing the focus of graduate courses to problems of set stabilization may allow the teacher to better motivate nonlinear control concepts with exciting examples, while at the same time establishing connections with other disciplines. A sample lecture and assignment are presented illustrating the ideas put forward in this letter.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
