Prof. Johnston is a very nice teacher. If you take the class seriously by attending lecture/doing your 100% on the problem sets, you'll be fine. The OPEC group project is a bit challenging, but you get guided along the way,. It's a good class to learn about the energy/electricity markets of the world.
