| Additional Comments |
This class isn't great, it's just ok. McGruder himself is a balls to the walls astronomy hardass, but it's nice to have someone who cares about what he teaches for a change (it's also nice to see someone of color in science, I'm tired of listening to fat balding white guys who think they know it all). I like McGruder. I like astronomy. But I still don't think this class is all that great. It's just missing something. If you're looking for an A, look elsewhere. His curve automatically lands 70% of the class in the C grade range somehow, you have to work like the devil to get an A. Easy C, impossible A. You make the call.
Tip: Don't waste your money on the book, he doesn't follow it at all and the exams come right from the notes (even though he says you need the book). I didn't find anything in the book that helped much that wasn't already in the notes. Visit wikipedia if you want extra study.
