Lectures (or really the content itself) are quite dull to be honest, and a lot of people do not show up to class. Despite that, he seems like a pretty nice guy. There are homework assignments every 2/3 weeks that must be turned in at the beginning of class on paper. They are not super hard and neither was the midterm. There is a second midterm right before the end of the semester and then an optional final (take if you want/need to improve your grade). The one thing about this class is that I think the name is a little misleading. It focuses heavily on electricity & energy markets, not much about actual environmental stuff, but I guess that is because there is another class for that. We do learn about needing to consider pollution as an externality and a couple of environmental disasters that were related to energy companies, though. I would give a 3.5/5 if that was an option, it's not a bad class at all. |

Nice professor. Lectures are not very engaging but content isn't hard, you have to be interested in order to really pay attention and absorb the information. Grading can also be confusing to decipher. Very little actual assignments and opportunities to raise your overall grade. Exams are weighted 35% and 45%. Also lack of study materials and resources so you will have to go to class and actively take notes if you want to do well. Probably wouldn't take again but would recommend to people actually interested in this topic. |

Joshua is a very nice professor, he cares about his students and explains things well. This class is really useful and enjoyable if you find the subject interesting. The materials are not hard, but you need to go to his classes and focus to fully understand the implications of the materials he provided in his slides. Exams are fair, you'll get a good grade if you are familiar with the materials and finish all the assignments. |
