The weekly quizzes aren't bad but the group project is major - make sure you get a good group because it's a bear of a project to work on.

I'm an ES major and did not expect it to be so engineering-heavy. You don't really need to go to class, as all lectures are recorded and posted online and all assignments online. If you can understand RETScreen and are an engineering major, go for it.

This was honestly better than any other online class I've taken. It was easy to know what to do & when. His expectations on assignments were clear, his lectures were wonderfully concise & the work load was incredibly fair.

He posts tons of lecture videos that you are expected to watch and then somehow 20-30% of the questions on the midterm and final aren't covered anywhere.

Prof. Runge provides a ton of lecture videos and practice calculations to make sure you KNOW the material.
