Great range of industry expertise and professionals within the appropriate fields.

Very interesting course ! Very well explained but maybe needs updates on current news (even if it may be hard I acknowledge) !
Really well balanced between definitions, geopolitics and science.

This is a very good course to grasp the fundamentals of the various forms of energy.
Admin detail: one week between exam-taking after two fails makes no practical sense and is detrimental to the timely completion of the course.
The course would also benefit from an actualization, with more analysis of recent economic & political trends:
- Oil market has historically been cyclical. Need an analysis of past cycles, and a fresh view on whether the current slump is part of a similar cycle, or a new era?
- America's insistence on energy independence, how/why Europe views independence differently, how China/India view their own?
- Current Middle-East politics Iraq-Iran-Saudi-Qatar, historical and current role of Saudi Arabia in the OPEC cartel, and the reality and dynamics of spare capacity within OPEC
Students should come out of this course with their own view of whether this is the last leg of the fossil fuel race (as hinted by Prof. Lucciani in the COP21 video), or just another bend.

Interesting insights but terribly uncritical. Nonetheless extremely useful for anyone who seeks to better understanding the geopolitcal and economic considerations at play in the production and distribution of energy (from a mainstream neoliberal perspective).

Course has good breadth and structure, exploring the economic and political side of international energy, however it would be good if a basic technical understanding of energy is incorporated.
Some material is rather outdated / inaccessible

The knowledge is abundant, but the assignment feedback is very poor from which it only shows me the score without any indication on the correct and wrong answers. Besides, the pending period for repeating a test is too long.

A lot of the videos and linked readings are either very outdated or inaccessible from the links given. Other than that, I really enjoyed the professor and found him to be both intelligent and easy to follow.

I think the administrators should also give complementary readings instead of lecture videos only.
Having a reference book or a journal would help a lot.

Week 8 test has inaccurate scoring issue. Please look into. I will purchase to get certified once this issue is solved.

I was expecting more economic and less politics on energy concept of world in the course.

While the course helps you with many basic concepts of energy technologies, the content is very outdated, especially in the current scenario of multiple wars, energy crisis, political and global instability. The course needs to be updated badly!

while attending the course I found myself many times bored and uninterested in the subject. The questions were also incomprehensible.many times the courses confuse you for no reason.
