It's really very useful to research scholars to select different flatforms. I m really enjoying while answering assignments as well as quizes.. the hints that they provided are awesome... Thanks allot

Very good course in that it introduces you thoroughly to the basic concepts of wind energy. By the end of it, I think I was able to participate in a conversation with specialists and I could get myself immersed into the particular areas if I chose to. There are some inconsistencies within the lectures, plus it was some times difficult to follow the lecturers. I saw that some colleagues were able to get help through the online chat room which was also providing additional material to study. To understand the concepts related to aerodynamics and solve the problems you need to have studied similar concepts before, in say fluid dynamics or pumps and turbines. I believe that someone without an engineering or physics background would not be able to complete the course.

Overall, I was very satisfied I took the course and I would recommend it to others.

It was a very good course, however, I think there are some points that need to be fixed: - For example, in some modules, the exam had nothing to do with the taught material, or in one module, the teacher worked hard to teach in two videos, but the exam was taken from a book, some of these inconsistencies were annoying. - In my opinion, guidance should be given to solve calculation questions, or the teacher should solve a sample problem in the video so that the learner is familiar with how to solve the questions. - The English subtitles had some inconsistencies in some episodes, but they can be ignored - I hope that DTU will take a course for each topic so that the subject is explained in a specialized way, not like this brief and introductory course.

Excellent course. I suggest that in a few quizzes you were asking to get the numbers off the slides in the video. It is very difficult to read the numbers off the video. Can you instead add the slides in the quiz PDF file? All the information required to answer the quizzes should be in the PDF file.

The course material was very good. The problem sets were very good too because of real life data. The rigor of courses was average. I can understand why you do not want to make the course more rigorous. However, it would help advanced engineering students to go through a more rigorous course.

The course was really good, challenging, I've learned a lot, from wind introduction, to technologies, materials, different types of turbines, aerodynamics, the structure and electric systems, and the wind itself and its measurements. Sometimes examples were missing and some topics were not fully explained but in general is a well made course. I liked the engagement of videos with lectures and quizzes, you feel the progress. I want to thank all the professors involved in this course, many thanks to the technical university of Denmark and coursera for giving me this opportunity.

Conveys some good, broad, fundamental knowledge of various aspects of Windenergy systems. I liked the structure of the course and the variety of asignments (Some calculation, some code, some excel, some multiple choice, some free-text questions). It's also close to practical application and does not require a lot of previous knowledge. In some of the quiz questions it was not completely clear to which values or previous results they refer to. Also it would have been nice to get a bit deeper into grid-connection. The chapter about HVDC gives some important insights though!

In terms of content, the course gives a very comprehensive and well-structured overview of the most important topics in wind energy, with most instructurs giving very informative lectures. The in-lecture questions are also very helpful to stay on track. The only slight critique I have is the large disparity in difficuly and effort in the quizes. Sometimes passing the quiz required answering only 3 multiple choice questions, other timesit involved extensive calculations. That in itself is fine, but I missed support from the course when failing to understand some concepts.

Overall the course is really good because the quizes make you use the formulas explained throughout the video lessons and is then when you actually learn a lot. The lessons are good in general but an improvement in the quality of the explanations would be appreciated, even though the objective of the course is not to get to deep into the concepts, better ways to explain some of these can be found. Anyway, I learned a lot and further reading material was pointed and in some cases provided, so I'm really thankful to DTU for making this course.
