Each topic consists of Warm up, Exercise, and Cool down. The warm up
is similar to lectures in class and walks you through various parts
of the Energy Scheming program and energy concepts. The exercises
test what you learned in the warm ups. The scores for exercises will
be part of your grade. The cool down goes over the work you did in
the exercise. The topics are found by following the Course Topics
link from the main screen. Midterm Exam and Final Exam are found by
following the Tests link from the main.
We estimate each topic will take you about 4 - 6 hours to complete.
When you complete and submit exercises and tests, they will be scored
and results returned to you by email.
Note: When submitting exercises and test, if you type in an incorrect
username, there is a chance of losing previously input answers. There
is code that checks for missing answers and missing username but not
for incorrect usernames. This will have to be fixed in the course.
But for now you can set your browser (in preferences -> advanced
-> cache) so that the memory cache is 5Mb and Page in cache is
compared to page on network is set to Every time. This will allow you
to use the back button to go back to your work and resubmit with your
correct user name.
Email me if you have questions. Good luck.
