Interesting topic with lots of good information and logically presented. A couple of the test questions were difficult to answer and did not correlate too well with the course outline.

Builds on course 029. General overview over geothermal boreholes, with enough information to make me curious to learn more about the IGHSPA, not enough to do the work now myself. I could not open the weblinks in the notes.

Good review on vertical systems. Would be helpful if he expanded it out to a bit on horizontal systems. The reading and questions were well thought out so enjoyed the course.

This course is not very well written. Sometimes it was really difficult to follow. I did learn something about boreholes, but could have been a shorter course.

Question 5 is very poor - I still have no idea what a "straight-face" test is, even after reading the answer. If you are going to use jargon on a test, at least explain it first.

Poor. I found the course very hard to follow and identify the answers, even when looking at the test results after I had completed the exam.

Informative course. Hard to follow regarding K values and unicoil questions. I expected to find Table 1 in the course text, rather than the addendum. Learned a lot about geothermal boreholes and grouting them though. Had no previous experience with that.

The course is good and needed when designing ground water coupled heating/ cooling systems. It could be improved by addressing certification requirements for drillers, possible permit requirements for borings, casing requirements/ limitations, possible environmental and/ or Health Department requirements for borings.

There was good useful information. I would have liked more information particularly regarding ADA compliance. More PDH credits on this subject would be good as well.

Few typos (Question #12 2nd line ("right")
Good basic information.
The ridge line section could be improved.

Information presented was material I was not very familiar with. Author obviously has much experience in this field. The course material was not quite as well-written as a couple of others that I have taken. Pictures were very helpful, however. Many of the test questions were not worded in complete sentences, and it could stand some improvement.

I am not pleased with the way the material was presented for this course. Information being provided needs to be refined so that individuals taking this course understand and benefit from this course.

The course that is intended to give an intro to a new reader, some of the details provided are meaningless. The test portion of the course is very poorly designed. An intelligent person would laugh at some of the questions and the 5 choices given as answers. Have someone with more common sense review the course before you put it out.

This is an excellent course, very informative and there was a lot of work put into the course. The pictures are terrific and go a long way in understanding the process.

Good Course
The course was very informative, easy to comprehend, and will be helpful for future projects. Provides good information on borehole thermal conductivity, drilling technique, tubing installation and grouting. These courses are a great way to obtain education credits necessary for PE license requirements.
