Comment:
The quizzes suck. You buy this $80 non-refundable "clicker" that you use to get MAYBE 50% of the questions right on a good day. Quizzes are also 50% of the grade, have nothing to do with our notes, and are not talked about in the lecture. The grading scale is knocked down 10% to make up for things though. (ex. an 80% = A, 70%=B, etc)

I didn't think he was that bad of a teacher, I took his astronomy class and learned a couple interesting things, he was nice. I got a B and learned what I could have done on my own in 30 minutes. that makes a good class for me!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLASS!!! This teacher is probably the worst i've ever had. Gives quizzes every day that 70-80% of the class usually gets WRONG! And the quizzes count as 50% of your grade. You take notes everyday, but they are useless cause none of the quiz questions come from your notes. If I pass which i doubt, it will be a absolut miracle

Unlike what has been said, he's not that bad. Not the best, and there are quizzes every day, but if you actually do the work you're supposed to you will get an A.

Comment:
Worst class ever. daily quizes were extremely hard, even when we had the right answer he would turn our answers around somehow to make it out we were still wrong, cause we were somehow suppose to read his mind on how to answer the question. Very monotone. Horrrrrrible!!!...

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE UNLESS YOU ARE VERY INTERESTED IN ASTRONOMY- YOU WILL HATE IT! The course is a boring lecture, where you are required to take electronic quizzes everyday- which bring everybody's grade down. good luck
