Chuck Moren is a great teacher. His turbines class is a bit tricky because the grading is based on three tests only. No quizzes, no homework, nothing else. His first test is tough because there's an equation about fifteen feet long that you've got to memorize. Get it wrong and the best you can get is a 72, and a B for the class.
