Comment:
Professor Bush is a gem of a teacher. He very clearly loves his topic and is willing to help his students in any way he can. He is not very tech-savvy but he gives it his best effort and I found his class very enjoyable, despite not being much of a science person.

He is great. Make sure you go to class for the in-class quiz things they will help with the tests and count as participation for your grade. Tries to keep it exciting, but most of the jokes are terrible. Study a lot for the tests. Taking pictures of the slides is also a good idea. Book not needed goes directly off the powerpoints.

Your grade in this course was based off 4 exams totaling (400 points) and in class assignments (100 points all together.) I am not the best with science and his exams are pretty tough but with a lot of hard work this class is definitely fair. Beware I did have to study for hours for exams and work my hardest I ever had to work for a B+.

Really heavy on lectures that are not interesting. He didn't really use the planetarium, maybe once or twice. You can go to class every day but still manage to end up with a low grade. The tests were really difficult. Its nice he really likes what he teaches but I still wouldn't take another class with the guy.

I think Professor Bush is great, however he lectures every class and talks kind of fast. Be prepared to pay attention, he goes through slides fast. The text book is never used in the class! Save your money and rent or borrow someone else's if you need to. The class is an easy A. Attendance isn't taken, but there are "warm-ups" done every class.

Took for gen ed, but the lectures were still very interesting! Don't miss or arrive super late, or you'll get a zero on an in-class assignment. Super easy A minus in ASTR 105. I wish we had used the book I paid for. Loved the planetarium and watching the show! Recommended.

Professor Bush is a nice guy, but his lectures are very boring. However, me not being good at science, this was a relatively easy class. Go to class and get the daily points and you wont fail!

David Bush is a really nice guy, and clearly loves what he teaches, however he is sometimes hard to understand as he can go off on tangents and sometimes skips or ignores things in his own presentations. Everyday there is a little "review" assignment worth 5 points which are easy enough especially since they are done together.

Professor Bush is a really cool person. Very enthusiastic and loves to teach. However, his tests and quizzes are not his. He does not write is own exams so when he gives a lecture or a study guide, it is practically useless. Do not take him for ASTRO 105 because it is difficult to pass the class with anything higher than a B.

Comment:
Textbook was required yet I never had to use it. Too much information provided to be able to memorize all of it for the tests. The class was held in the planetarium yet we only used it maybe twice. Attendance was not mandatory, however there were in class assignments every class

Comment:
Textbook is listed as mandatory but we never actually used it--don't waste your money on it. Astronomy is held in the planetarium, which is really cramped. Attendance isn't taken but he gives in-class exercises every class instead, which is basically an attendance grade. There's a lot of material covered on the exams, it's hard to memorize it all

Class difficulty depends on if you take good notes during the lectures.

Very nice guy, passionate about what he teaches. Small assignments pretty much every class that are worth 5 points each, but you can make them up if asked to. If you skip classes you wont know whats on the exams and you'll most likely fail, and it's not stuff that you can just bluff through.

Really hard for an intro class. His exams were hard and attending class was mandatory because we did a lot of in class assignments. I would not expect an intro class to be so hard. I was really interested in astrology, but this class and professor made me dislike it.

Bush is definitely passionate about what he teaches which is dope, but the tests are pretty tough. Make sure you show up to class, because all he does is lecture and you have to take his notes and that's what'll help you pass the class. He also does in-class exercises every day and if you're absent, you can't make up those points.

Amazing guy and you can tell he loves what he teaches, but the tests killed me. Study guide did not help, was just an outline of his powerpoints. Expected more use of the planetarium, which I was geeked about at the beginning of the course. Used it once.
