What the case study brought to the course, number of responses and example quotes

Case impact	# of responses	Example quote
Awareness of stakeholders	22	“I think the case illustrated the difficulties in satisfying all stakeholders, since each group had its own diverse range of interests and goals. The case helped to show that sustainable energy solutions can be very complex, and often involve compromises.”
Real world perspective	20	“I think the case brought a real-life example of an issue which relates to the triple bottom line of sustainability in regards to the installation of sustainable energy solutions.”
Awareness of class context	12	“I think the case study was useful in that it helped contextualize some of the topics we have been learning in class.”
Challenge paradigm of sustainability as an unquestioned good	12	“I think the case brought a decent example of how sustainable energy solutions are certainly a priority, but at the same time they can be complex. Installing wind is great, but it comes at additional costs that may make it a case of greenwashing. The real world is complex and making a cleaner energy grid is more than just installing wind and solar.”
Deeper understanding of history and context	11	“The case made me knowledgeable of the issues that are happening within our country. It made me realize that sustainable energy solutions are not necessarily prioritize if there is no significant monetary gain.”
