I took this course during the fall semester. The online videos are extremely dry and there is a large amount of content itself. It would be better taught in person and more concisely. Assignments are also quite dry and problem sets were challenging. If you are considering a minor in Energy then it may be bearable. I only took it on a recommendation from a friend and I was shocked by how painful it was to complete this course. -
