1 - What did you learn ² in terms of knowledge, skills, or perspectives ² in this course? (4,000 character limit) - I learned that people care more about aesthetics and theatrics than they care about problem solving. I also learned that incompetency goes unchecked a long way and it is not very uncommon for people to fail upwards in life. - I acquired a lot of knowledge about the project topic (energy systems and associated political challenges in developing countries), and also re-learned how important communication is in a large project (especially clear planning of roles and responsibilities early on in the project, and clear comms when those responsibilities change). - I learnt some new technologies and additional knowledge in the energy space, but that cannot be credited to this course. It was merely my own interest towards doing it. - Not too much other than stress management. 2 - What is your overall assessment of the course?
