Students can also learn the topics to be covered throughout the semester from other Energy Economics books. There are books by different authors in the library.

4. Students prepare for the topics to be covered each week in advance; when they are asked questions about the topic, they must know it at a reasonable level. They receive a zero grade for that day's topic due to questions they do not know; they are also given a score between 2 and 5 when they answer the question.
