Recitations

Overview

Student led recitations will involve three member teams (approx.). Each team should collaborate in all phases of preparation, including presentation graphics and briefing notes. The team should select one member to be the presenter, one to lead discussion, and one to be rapporteur (give wrap-up comments). Paper copies of visual presentation materials should be distributed before the recitation.

  • Recitation 1: Class discussion about "sustainability" and scoping techniques.
  • Recitations 2-7: Problem sessions focused on "Toolbox" topics and linked homework assignments.
  • Recitations 8-17: Student-led recitations on energy supply options that will lead to two integrated case studies.
