Find another Astronomy teacher. Mr. McGruder is ok, but there are many better options out there for astronomy professors. I've heard Bohuski is good. Take Mr. McGruder as a last resort, BECAUSE: his tests are impossible. There is a mid-term and a final (which counts as 40% of your grade) and basically everyone in the class fails them because they are so hard. He grades on an extreme curve because they are so hard and you think he would make the material a little more comprehensible, but he doesn't. There are random quizzes on unnanounnced days, he just at the end of lecturing will go "ok quiz today" and they are pass/fail, which is nice. There are only 2 labs and they are pretty simple, but all in all the bad outweighs the good about this course. The textbook is required, according to him, but i bought it and never even opened it so it is kind of your call on that one. He tends to ramble about random things and anything and i mean anything that was even mentioned in class once could end up on the final. So in the end, if you have another choice for a professor take it, but if not then good luck and go every day.
