The course was very easily explained including all the minor details it's like a journey of powers system where you get to know about all the key elements required to have the knowledge in this field.

What an Extraordinary Course, I really appreciate meeting with such a skilled professor and a tutor too.
Though his main focus was on the USA and quiz were mainly focusing on the USA not globally.

The course provides a very rudimentary understanding of how power is generated and distributed. The subject matter and topics taught are very high level and require no prior technical knowledge or experience. In this regard, I have no complaints. However, it stumbles a lot when it starts getting a little preachy about renewables and the dogma surrounding it. For example, in Week 4 it asks if all renewable energy is sustainable. You get marked wrong for answering correctly, because the right answer doesn't match the test maker's opinion. There are other instances of this occurring, but I'd rather not reveal too much of the course material.
Bottom line: Take it if you're very curious about how your electric grid works and don't yet know the basics. Don't take it if you're looking for something more technical and less opinionated.

Could have offered more challenges, critical thinking questions and calculations could be included. I find trivia questions could be omited, or kept if key factor is to encourage ideas for the future of power to the people. Other than that, was nice to rock back and watch. The professor does not instill confidence, would appreciate he speaks with "the professor who knows everything about the matter" flow. Not necessary to change.

Level of questions must be improved and number of question may be increased.
Old videos must be made up to date.
Some of questions options are not in correct order. I have seen "All of the above" option and "None of the above" option at the first option place or in the middle.
In the forum people discussing about the question and answer rather than topics, this should not be allowed without successful completion of course

Information was't properly arranged based on the sections and the titles. People having previous experiences on the items covered in these lectures will easily get over it but because of the lectures not being in proper manner, for those who don't have any previous ideas, won't do much good i guess. Anywway, Worked for me, Thanks to coursera. Thanks to Mr. Ilya Gringerg.

some of the course topics seemed to be more political and policy motivated than factually based. Also there seemed to be conflicting information on percentages of generation sources. Several of the photo examples of transformers and switches where in fact oil and SF6 circuit breakers and that could be very confusing to people with no exposure to this industry.

The course is informative but it is very old. The instructor also doesn't show any enthusiasm for the topic and just lists down the info as if he is reading. Lack of examples. Lack of specific details. the course is also very broad and doesn't explain why we use this and that or how each component work.
