I rated this class okay because it was a struggle to stay awake during the lectures, even though most of the material was pretty interesting and presented in an interesting manner. There are three to four tests in Dr. Hackney's class, depending on how quickly the class moves. Notes are easy to take because what he wants you to know, he writes down or tells you. There are also outlines for each section of material that he gives you. Attendance is not really required, but in most classes there are in-class writing that we turn in, and that's how he takes attendance. He gives you more possible points than you'll need to make a decent grade though so you can afford to miss a few times. A lot of people thought this class was pretty hard, because Dr. Hackney works for NASA and apparently that had something to do with it. I thought the class was pretty easy though--the only preparation I did for tests was rewriting my notes and making sure I knew what was on the outline--two hours tops. Anyway, I hear that the other profs are easier than Dr. Hackney, but I didn't think it was that bad. Oh yeah, the lab is simple--you meet once and look at the sky.
