Comment:
Great professor, would have jokes every class and his facial expressions always cracked me up in a good way, made lectures entertaining. Assignments that can only be done in class so if you don't go to class you lose points, can't make it up. A bit of studying is enough for the tests, but are not easy. Really loves astronomy.

Brodney is a really nice dude and seems to care about teaching a lot, but his tests re more difficult than expected. show up tp class every time and do your homework to balance out how bad your test grades will be

There is a lot of homework but it is mostly participation credit. Almost every class you do a worksheet that can not be made up if you miss class. In class you just take notes. It is easy and relatively interesting. Midterms are easy, just memorize what is on the study guide and it's an easy A.

Great Professor! He is very clear on what is expected. Fast grader. Tells jokes. Gives very helpful study guides for each exam (including final). You will have a lot of online homework to do (must do).You need the book for homework and study guide answers. Go to class, study the study guides and you'll get an A.

Great class, interesting especially for those who aren't required to take chem or physics. Super easy. Studied the day before for exams and got A's. 2 hw assignments, 4 exams, and 10 quizzes. Class not mandatory but go anyways for the quizzes and the powerpoints.

If you are willing to put the effort in, its an easy class. Attendance is a must because you either get a quiz or class work. Everything is easy as long as you try. He is a very nice teacher and the class is very interesting and worth it.

He's a nice guy but makes terrible jokes whenever he gets the chance. In terms of content, he's very knowledgeable and helpful. Lots of quizzes, lots of in-class assignments and studying is necessary.

Comment:
Not the easiest class like i thought it would being that it was an intro course. He was pretty funny though. quiz or in-class assignment every time. The points eventually add up. 4 exams, lowest one dropped. about 12 IN-CLASS quizzes, lowest 2 dropped. Comprehensive final. 2 take home assignments worth a large amount. must study!! you wont fly by.

His class was not the easiest in the world but it was doable. The most interesting part of the class was his facial expressions and corny jokes. The study guides are helpful and he does a fun review in class for test. The online homework was a pain but very informative and you could look up a lot of the answers by just typing them into google.

Very funny, friendly professor. Super easy class, very interesting subject. Textbook is only really used for homework (Google helps too), all test material is covered during lecture. He drops your lowest of 4 exams scores and does fun review games for exams. One of the best professors, definitely take this class!

A mistake if you do not get him for astronomy! He is soo nice and friendly and helpful and his facial expressions are hilarious. Homework online every week but not too difficult, 4 tests and drops the lowest one, and a cumulative final. Many extra credit opportunities. Only really need the book for the homework online, tests come from lectures.

Comment:
Read the chapters since Fitzgerald does not go in depth with his powerpoints. All quizzes online are important so study for them since they matter a lot in the end. His exams are pretty easy, all multiple choice. I suggest going to review sections since they help a lot. Easy A but I freakin' got a B- because I slacked off.

Fitzgerald is a funny professor. There's 14 ten point quizzes online and you get 2 tries to take them--the lowest 2 scores are dropped. There's 3 tests and the lowest one is dropped. And once a week there's a 5 points worksheet for 5 points. One of the easiest classes I've ever taken. I didn't open the book once and I got an A-. Def. take him.

-sigh-- Fitzgerald. His class is not too hard. It is an easy and straightforward class. Do not buy the book..it is completly unnecessary. All questions and test are based on information covered in the powerpoint. If looking for an easy GE to take. His class is the one.

This class was the easiest class I have had so far and Professor Fitzgerald is a very nice guy. There are 12 short 5 question quizzes (he drops 2), four exams - he drops one of the first three (the last exam is considered the final, not cumulative). There are in class exercises that help you rack up points and plenty of EC. EASY! 90% is a solid A.

Take Professor Fitzgerald! As long as you go to class and copy down the power points you'll do fine. Weekly quizzes and class activities although not too difficult. 3 tests, drop lowest score plus a non-cumulative final. Attendance taken but only used for borderline grades. HUGE CURVE...a 60% is a C, 75% a B, and 90% an A. Take him!
