Lesson Activity

PrintPrint

The Lesson Activities are a form of authentic assessment, as you will be required to complete some real-life tasks that solar professionals complete in their line of work. You'll need to consult a number of resources (provided to you or available online) to complete each activity. You will be put in situations where you have to make decisions and support your work with references and data. In addition, you will build your own calculation tools for solar applications as a part of the lesson activities. Successful completion of these activities will demonstrate that you have attained the higher level learning objectives of the course.

Each of the activities is designed to challenge you to demonstrate your knowledge of that lesson's topics. The activities have been structured this way to help you connect the class material to tangible real world solar issues and solutions.
