Thanks for the review Mike! I think what you said is very accurate. I would just like to add my 2 cents on the class. If you have the ability to take the lab I would HIGHLY recommend it! The lab is not boring like a lot of other classes and all of the material is very hands on. The lab reports can take a bit of time if you want to make them look nice, but overall its not a huge extra time comitment.

Like Mike said, I do not think this class has any true prereq's but I think some basic energy knowledge will make your life a lot easier. Classes like Energy 101, Energy 103, or some basic physics background will make learning the material very easy. The material here isn't rocket science, but it does require a good amount of thought.

Overall, this class is great. Gil is a wonderful teacher and lectures are not boring at all. I would recommend taking this class soon as Gil is likely to retire within the next few years. A must take for anyone interested in energy issues or sustainability.
