He was really nice and explains things very clearly. If you ask a question he'll answer it, and he's not mean. He's great.

He was such a refreshing teacher. I learned so much and felt comfortable asking questions. He expects you to work but doesn't expect unrealistic requirements. I wish all teachers were like him. I recommend him for everyone!!!!

This guy is the man. He's geeky but super helpful with questions, re-explains stuff, give easy homework, and good lectures. Sometimes the tests weren't straightforward, but he always hooked us up if we all did bad, like raise everyone's scores by 10 percent or give super easy extra credit. I'd recommend him any day.

Chris is one of the best teachers I have ever had! He loves the subject and wants to see you succeed. If you do the homework, pay attention during lectures and study his study guides you will ace the class.

He is SERIOUSLY the best teacher I have had in a LONG time! For the first time EVER I actually enjoyed the sciences! Go to class - take notes and study his study guides and you can't go wrong. He is SO willing to help! Class A teacher!

Draper is the BEST teacher I've ever had! not kidding! he helps all the time and he really cares about students.

sometimes the class is boring but Draper loves teaching and he knows so much that it makes it fun and interesting. He's very patient and really cool. We didn't get to look at the stars on the dome ceiling which stunk, but other than that the class was really good.

He speaks incredibly fast! Beware! There is a lot of work required but if you go to class OR read the chapter, it isn't a problem. Very in depth for a basic astronomy class but also not my favorite subject.

He made me actually like science. He's really fun, and gives you pleanty of opportunity to learn, and understand. He's the first science teacher i've ever liked! Take him!

His lectures are very structured and he's an overall nice guy. I would take astronomy from him also.

Very fun teacher. He knows his stuff. Very in depth for a basic astronomy class. Attendance is important. He is a really cool guy, funny, and keeps everyone interested because he is so excited.

Professor Draper is AWESOME! I loved his class. I even looked for another class to take from him the next semester because he made physics so interesting. He is patient and will take the time to clarify the material if you need. Don't be afraid to speak up in class. He's a nice guy and a great professor.

He's an excellent teacher for someone looking for a basic understanding of astronomy or an extra science credit. But he's a very easy teacher and he isn't the best if you're majoring in the field.

The only reason I took the time to create a ratemyprofessor account, was to talk about this man.Hands down one of the greatest teachers I've ever had!!Smart, helpful, and passionate about the subject.Makes you want to change your major!I plan on being a teacher one day, and I hope I'm half as good as this guy!!

This class was pretty easy if you are looking for an easy science general. It was very easy to fall asleep in so i would suggest drinking caffeine or drawing or something to stay awake

He is really passionate about the subject, he will do little quick quizzes after ten minutes of lecturing just to make sure everyone's on the same page. GREAT TEACHER.

Fantastic teacher! So passionate, and very helpful. Willing to work with students to help understading.

He's a really great teacher! Show up to class, read the book, and do homework and you'll pass easy! Relates topic to real world situations. He gives extremely helpful studyguides before tests. Take him!

hes a great teacher! definitely loves astronomy and shows it! his tests can be pretty challenging , but he gives a study guide. hw often and quick quizzes regularly. this isnt an easy A class, but its easy to pass, just gotta do the work.

Mr. Draper is an amazing teacher. Was very clear when he tought and was funny to. His tests are not bad at all and best of all he requires no math at all!!!! One of the best teachers at UVU.

Just like everyone's said on here, Draper knows a lot but then expects you to pick up on all of his lifetime knowledge in about four semesters. I stared off so excited learning about all the cool astronomy, but the more than once weekly quizzes and nearly every week online quizzes became a lot to handle while trying to balance other classes.

He is a good teacher, he is funny and enthusiastic about astronomy, which makes it so much better. He is funny. You have to do a lot of reading cause he has a small quiz at the beginning of each class period. But, if you read the chapter, the quiz is easy. There is homework for each chapter.

I really enjoyed this class. Christian really knows his stuff and will help you to understand. Homework and quizzes every day of class. It's not hard, but if you forget to do it you'll drag your grade down. Read the textbook and attend lecture and you'll do fine on the tests. Take this class!

Amazing teacher! LOVES science and teaches it on a level that even those who are not future scientists can understand. Quiz before each class, but if you do the reading and hw you'll do fine. Great study guides for tests. Written in plain english - and he doesn't try to trick you. TAKE HIM!!!

Very nice guy, sometimes he goes a little off tangent, but he's nice. I highly recommend doing all of the readings, as sometimes I suffered in class without doing them. Let me warn you now: there's ALOT of reading. You will also need to keep up on the online quizzes, so be sure to check canvas regularly. Assignments every test (I believe 4 or so).

I loved him! Best professor I've ever had. It's a lot of work, but it's college so let's all put our big kid panties on and get over it. He is really forgiving, he let me turn in about 6 homeworks in late for full credit.

I've always been terrible at science, but he did a great job of making it interesting and understandable. Homework quizzes are open book. If you take notes, read the chapter he assigns, and go to class, you'll learn a lot and do well. He's a really funny guy, and you will enjoy his class. :)

Very good professor. You learn a ton in this class. It covers one chapter every class. 5 question quiz on the assigned reading & a lecture quiz throughout the lesson everyday, so don"t miss class. Canvas quiz due every class day, open book. 4 tests all scantron. It seems like a lot but it's really not bad. Pay attention to his reviews & take notes.

Christian was a great professor. He taught clearly and simply. He also was willing to work with me when I had problems that caused me to miss the final and we arranged a different time to take it.

Prof. Draper is a very animated teacher and makes learning fun. I enjoyed that he could explain the material in basic terms, but whenever anyone had an advanced question he could explain that too. I have always enjoyed astronomy and a lot of this class was review, but there were a lot of cool facts that I learned. 10/10 would take again.

I took it in a summer block , he made quizzes of the chapters before every class ( summary of the book) than homework (summary of the book) and the test were easy, we is very clear , didactic , not extra credit but he will drop some points , I had a great time in this class and I would totally recommend it if you wanna learn .

Professor Draper is way fun! Quiz on each chapter at the beginning of class/one page of notes. The quiz questions mostly come from the multiple choice in the back of each chapter along with true/false. Read each chapter and go to class because the quizzes are how he checks attendance. The tests are easy with a review in class. Go to review.

Christian is one of the best professors I have had. He gives assignments every class, but they are super easy. Also he gives reading quizzes every class, and lecture quizzes for participation. He gives out 4 tests, and if you are there for the review they are super easy to pass. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher.

He is a great teacher really funny and he understands that college students have a lot going on in their lives, but he makes sure you understand that school is important and makes you work for your grade.

Professor Draper is a funny man who is really passionate about Astronomy. If you take his class not only will you have fun, but you will learn a lot of interesting facts about space! There are quizzes every day so the participation matters. Also his tests were kind of hard but on the bright side, the class averaged the same so he curved our grades.

IT IS FANTASTIC, TEACHER IS GREAT AND FUNNY. AND THE WE CAN REVIEW EVERY CHAPTERS FOR 3 TIMES. TOTALLY CAN UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING.

He has daily quizzes that are really easy if you look in the back of the chapters those are the questions he uses! The tests are pretty easy just study! Pretty easy class not a way easy A you have to put in some effort!

Good teacher, passionate about the subject. There will be a quiz every day over the chapter that will be covered in the lecture that day. Then there will be a canvas test for homework. There are 4 tests taken at the testing center and he only gives 2 days to take it and you have to pay on the second day. The tests aren't hard but you need to study.

He's amazingly smart, but he expects a lot of work from you. There are quizzes online after every class period, and 4 tests combined with 50 point assignments, final is an essay (with test 4). Every class begins with a quiz. A lot of work but got a B which is surprising from all the work it requires, but I took four other classes this semester.

This guy was awesome. I really enjoyed his class. Tests and quizzes are manageable if you put in the time. He is super helpful and always willing to answer questions. He is pretty funny so he makes the class fun.

Dont take this class in the morning or if you have a sleeping problem. This class will put you to sleep not because its boring but the chairs are comfy and room is dark! Just do your homework and the reviews hes a cool guy a little goofy but he cares that the students learn so its a good class.

Professor Draper is the man!!! I absolutely loved his class. I have always had a love for astronomy and he made it really fun. He makes you work for your grade and there is a lot of material to cover and remember but he gives you plenty of time to study for quizzes and tests.

I loved Professor Draper! I learned so much in his class, he knows his stuff and does a great job at explaining it to students. Tests are a little tough, but putting in the effort to study is worth it. You have weekly homework, but all the answers are right in the book. Show up to class, take good notes, and you'll pass no problem.

Great professor. cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Tests are not tough. just study and read and you can get an A. He was one of the best professors I have had thus far.

Amazing professor who absolutely loves and is passionate about what he does. He is there for you! He is very clear. The class is very easy, just have to put in time to read the chapters. I took a block class, and I'm very impressed that everyone passed with a c or above. Homework is online and very short. Quiz's every class- very easy (if you read)

Christian is an excellent Astronomy professor. As with most astronomy professors, he's into stars and sci-fi so some of his jokes didn't make sense to me. He is super friendly and helpful, though. His class consists of daily quizzes (so you have to attend) and there are homework assignments every week. If you take this class, pick Christian!

Professor Draper is bar far the absolute best professor I've ever had in my four years at UVU. He is passionate, enthusiastic, genuinely cares for students (or is a damn good actor), and is extremely clear. After taking his class, I learned that I an interest in physics and astronomy. Professor draper knows his stuff! Very, very knowledgeable!

I had zero interest in Astronomy, but he was so passionate about what he was teaching that it was fun to learn from him. I loved this class and highly recommend it to anyone who need a science credit. It's interesting and his teaching style is easy to follow, even when you're talking about something as complex as black holes. Loved this teacher.

He is a stud! He actually made me excited to learn about Astronomy. He is very understanding and always there to help when needed. If you stay on top of your homework you will have no problem getting a good grade.

Easy professor. The tests were online and the pre class quizzes were easy

Great Professor! - I took this class to fulfill one of my generals and I'm glad I took it from him. Clicker quizzes almost every day - but they are easy. Just look over the power points on canvas before class. He is very animated, and gives awesome lectures. If you try at all you'll get an A

Professor Draper is the best professor at UVU. He cares about his students and he knows what he is teaching. He is very clear with what he wants from you and as long as you do the work, it's an easy class. I loved learning from him and found a greater interest in Astronomy. Take his class if you can!!

He is really clear during his lectures, and is an easy grader. Tests are a little difficult, but not bad. You take a lot of notes and there are quizzes everyday but they aren't hard, you just need to be there to take them.

Pop quizzes every class about chapters you read. Just read and pay attention in class and you will get an A. Review is exactly what will be on the test. Good at helping you understand. There are about 4 quizzes throughout the entire semester and a bunch of quizzes that help your grade. Go to class and read. Good at lecturing.

Professor Draper is extremely knowledgeable, funny, & will probably be the next Galileo in the world. Very clear on what he expects of you. Lectures entire class time (rapidly take notes and pay attention or you'll be lost). TONS of homework:3-4 HW/Quizzes due each class period, 4 tests throughout. He's willing to work with you, listen and succeed!

I took Professor drapers class in the summer and absolutely loved it. He is very passionate about what he teaches. He is very clear on what he wants. You have lecture and reading quizzes in class, so you better read your book before going to class. I loved this class and would definitely take another astronomy class from him!!

Christian is a kooky guy, but a great teacher. He is the nerdy type that you would expect to be in love with the study of the stars. So much passion! He is very clear with what he expects, and you will have no problem passing the class as long as you complete the assigned readings and pay attention. I highly recommend him.

Christian is an awesome teacher! During his lectures he frequently asks students if they need clarification and is very clear on what you need to know for tests. He sets up students for success! I'm not very interested in Astronomy, but he made it interesting & understandable. His lecture PowerPoints are also on CANVAS. THANK YOU !!!

Overall I really enjoyed the class. If you go and follow along with the notes that he conveniently posts on Canvas you will pass. Don't buy the text book. I just googled the questions to the quizzes and homework and easily got 100%. Highly suggest studying for tests, but they are nothing to stress about if you spend an hour or two studying.

Fantastic teacher! I would take this class again if I could!

He's pretty funny and dorky. Class is entertaining. He does random quiz questions throughout the class to make sure that you are paying attention. Tests are pretty easy and so is the homework. Defintely recommended.

Awesome and passionate professor. He is hilarious and super fun teacher.

I really loved this class. Professor Draper has such a passion for astronomy and that is part of what really kept me engaged in class. He got so excited about things sometimes! He also is really funny, and so it kept the class light and fun. Plus, the homework isn't really tough. You do have to do 4 projects, but they really aren't that bad.

Hes great, hes funny in his own nerdy way, and its great. The lectures are kinda boring and the whole period. He gives 2 quizzes every class for points, but doesnt take attendance. His class is in the planetarium and has comfy chairs, and the lights are always low, HELLO NAPS! :)

Christian is the bomb-dot-com. He was so passionate about the material, it was contagious. Full of bad jokes and quirky shirts, which is awesome. He is very clear with what he expects from you, and makes learning about the stars actually interesting. As long as you go to class and participate, you will have no problem passing his class.

There are no trick questions in his class! All requirements are clearly laid out. Very test- and homework-heavy, but assignments are easy with an open-book policy. He will answer any question. Be on time to class! Daily quizzes start on the hour. He is the most externally-accessible professor I've had - he replies to emails within a few hours.

He is a great professor. He is very clear in class, and the material he presents will actually prepare you for your homework and your exams. There were 3 exams and a Final. All of them built on the others, and the homework questions prepared you for the Exams. He uses Canvas VERY well, and so you will never be lost or confused about due dates, etc

If you attend class and do the assignments, you will do great! His lectures are interesting and he describes things in easy ways to understand. He is available to answer questions, understanding and a great teacher!

He is an awesome professor! He makes class fun, tries to relate what we are learning with real life situations, and he is funny! I am not a huge science fan but he makes it interesting. His teaching style is strictly lecture based with homework quizzes and pre-lecture quizzes online. If you keep on top of things the class is easy and enjoyable!

Great class. Christian made learning about space really interesting, and I'm leaving class with knowledge that I'm thankful for and love.

Professor Draper makes science cool! He is very passionate about Astronomy, his lectures are entertaining. I suggest you complete your reading before each class since there's a pop quiz every morning. Tests are multiple choice and not difficult at all if you actually pay attention and read. No need for clicker if you download the app!

I loved Professor Draper's class! He is very good at showing how the material covered in class applies to the real world. Each class there is a short multiple choice quiz of about 5 question from the chapter reading. He lectures using PowerPoint presentations, pictures, and diagrams. Professor Draper is energetic and made my morning class fun!

Took his class @ 7 in the morning and would do it again! He is a great teacher who knows his stuff! Make sure to do the readings because it will help with the homework, quizzes, and tests! The only down fall of the class was the reclining chairs XD. Joke aside, great teacher who has great lectures that keep you interested in the class!

He is such a fun teacher. Although his teaching style is very lecture oriented, it is highly entertaining and I looked forward to each class. He is very personable and willing to work with you so that you can get the grade that you deserve. Quizzes are regular, but not too tough. Tests are fairly easy. I really like him.

Best class I've taken! He made astronomy so much more interesting. The lectures were literally right from the book. He's very passionate about the subject as well which made the class all the more better. Homework quizzes for each class were easy with the book. Lots of clicker questions, so I had to be there. Test were a breeze if homework was done

He loves astronomy, and he makes it fun to learn. Every single day right when you get to class there is a quiz, and I had it early so I tended to skip class a lot which ended up hurting my grade. But if you go to class he is a great professor and the class is not very difficult.

Professor Draper is the best science teacher I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains the material in a way that is simple and easy to understand. He also answers any question you have very clearly and is more than willing to help you if you are struggling. The textbook is necessary and there are reading quizzes before every class

He is a great professor. He knows the material and explains it in multiple ways. He will not move on until everybody understands it. He is also hilarious and very caring. Do the work and you will pass, but you have to study.

Prof. Draper is an interesting man. Great sense of humor and will try to crack some jokes during his lectures. Class is not hard. Show up each day and listen and read the questions from the text book and you will do great on the tests. Relaxed feeling in class. Overall good guy. I would take from him again. Grading is solid no surprises here

This professor makes the best out of an optional course I learned a lot about astronomy just make sure you go to class every day

Professor Draper is great. His lectures were interesting and helpful. You have to take reading quizzes before each class for each chapter and there is a homework assignment for each chapter, but everything is online. The reading quizzes were hard but I found they were helpful to look back at before a test. The homework was easy. Only 4 tests.

Great teacher! Learned a lot about astronomy if your not planning on spending two hours a week on homework dont take it but its a really good class and the homework helps on tests if you do your work you will get an A

This professor was great! I usually do not enjoy science but I enjoyed taking it this semester because of him. His classes are mostly lectures and daily quizzes, so you need to come to class to get credit for the quizzes. But he's very passionate about science and he does everything he can to help you succeed if you put the work into the class.

Professor Draper is hilarious, knowledgeable of the subject and does a fantastic job at excecuting the course material. I would recommend taking a class from him to anyone! Very likeable guy! Reading the textbook is important but luckily it is interesting! Always be on time for class so that you can take the reading quizzes!

Each class is a lecture. He makes it interesting. Has fun ways to memorize the constellations. Very good professor.

Best college professor I have had yet. His lectures are entertaining, organized, and very clear. There is a reading assignment, homework assignment, and quiz for every class/lecture but you will really know your stuff. I have never met a professor who loves his subject like Mr. Draper does.

Really cool class. DO NOT FORGET TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK! If you stay on top of your homework and read for quizzes super easy cool class!

He was an awesome teacher. The way he gave his lectures were very interesting and made you memorize what you were learning very easy. You have quizzes everyday but you just have to read ahead, they are usually easy. You also have homework assignments but everything that is on the homework he talks about in class.

Draper is great. His grading and expectations for the class are very fair. You have to go to class. You get clicker points on class (easy), and everything on the test is talked about. It was a really interesting class and I learned a lot! It helped me in my other classes too!

Prof Draper is a cool guy. He's goofy and loves what he teaches. If you keep up on the homework assignments and show up to class for clicker questions, you'll be totally fine. Pretty easy class overall, and you learn some cool things along the way.

Online homework a few times a week. Pretty easy. 4 online open book tests. A couple simple projects. Lecture with clicker questions every class. A couple constellations quizzes. He could make this class a lot harder but since its all online its really easy to get a good grade IF you turn in all your assignments on time. (no late work)

Read the text, come to class, and take good notes and you'll get an A. This instructor is very passionate about astronomy, and has unrivaled knowledge of the topic. He also takes time to answer any questions if you don't understand something. You also need to buy a "iClicker" or the App to take the in class quizzes, but they can be found for cheap.

This professor is very passionate about astronomy and shows it in his lectures. Each lectures contains clicker questions which count towards your grade. However, as long as you do the readings and listen they are not difficult. The other assignments and tests are not too difficult. Awesome class if you are interested in astronomy.

He was a great professor! The thing is that he does 2 in-class quizzes based on the reading that you've done for that class plus he has i-clicker questions for participation that you are required to do. But overall, he is a good professor and his lectures are amazing and his tests are always online and open book but timed so be aware of that! :)

Reading quizzes and book homework sucked. But the lectures were fascinating, and cool. He's a secret genius. You don't realize he's so smart because he's such a dad - complete with nerdy science tshirts. Loved this class. A great way to get science credit and learn something interesting.

Professor Draper is a great choice. He made astronomy very interesting and was very enthusiastic about teaching the class. Every day before he begins he gives a quiz on the reading you had the night before, fairly easy quiz, only 5 questions. Homework is pretty easy just get it done before the due date.

This guy is amazing. He made Astronomy so fun for me and all the homework is kinda easy to do but, easy to get done before the due date. Not to mention all of his tests, including the final, is all take-home. I wish every class in UVU is like that.

Wonderful class- a lot of material- he doesn't expect you to memorize everything and is super reasonable with that. Just do the reading and the homework- it all works out, enjoyable lectures, made something boring for me become more interesting! and he has a sense of humor so it helps a ton!

Prof. Draper is amazing. He knows what he teaches, and is willing to and is able to answer any question. His lectures can be bland sometimes, but his sense of humor brightens the mood. He is very understanding of any circumstances, and is willing to work with you. He doesn't expect you to memorize difficult concepts and has realistic standards.

There are daily reading quizzes and lots of assigned readings from the textbook. He is very funny as in - dad jokes funny. We used iclickers to take the daily quizzes. Textbook was offered for free as an eBook/online book. Tests and Quizzes are all open notes/open textbook. The final is on canvas, open note/open textbook. Easy prof but lots of hw.

I loved his lectures they were awesome. He is very enthusiastic about astronomy which makes the class more enjoyable. His class is very easy as long as you just put in the effort. I highly recommend taking his class.

Take his class! I had a substitute for this class one day and he couldn't compare to Draper! He is so hilarious, cares for all his students, and has really interesting lectures. He does have a lot of readings and quizzes for those readings but they are really easy. It's not hard to get an 'A' in the class if you try a little.

I really enjoyed this subject and I can tell Prof. Draper did too! He did a great job in his lectures. There is lots of reading but the textbook was free online. He uses iClickers for the daily reading quizzes. The little homework projects were really easy and This class was great! All tests are open book and take home, which I thought was great!

Christian is patient, positive, approachable. He allows questions in/out of class. He communicates subjects he is unfamiliar with and has great knowledge and enthusiasm for the topics he specializes in. His class flow was read a chapter, short quiz (to encourage studying and attendance) great lecture, homework. 3exams. 1 essay. ReliableCanvas user

Professor Draper is great! He has so much knowledge to share about astronomy, and has a great, fun attitude. There are daily quizzes so you need to go to class and be on time, but he is not crazy strict with grading.

Show up in class on time, so you can get a good grade. I learned a lot from his class. The final is an essay and almost everybody gets 100 for the paper and everybody gets full points for attendance. He will drop four lowest in class quizzes. Read before coming to the class, so you can do good on the in class quizzes.

I thought he was great. He very easy grader, and all the tests are open book and notes taken on canvas. His lectures could be a little dull but overall I highly recommend and would take again.

Prof. Draper is a good teacher, there is just SO much reading for this class. Clicker quizzes at the beginning of each class and then more questions throughout the lecture for credit points. You have to read about a chapter before every class to be able to answer the clicker questions. The tests were pretty easy though and the textbook was free.

Reading quizzes almost every class. Lots of online HW assignments. All assignments are pretty easy. The hardest part of the class is memorizing the constellations. Draper is super funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable.

He is a very kind, funny dude who loves space. He provided the textbook on Canvas which helped so much because there is a ton of reading for homework. He does clicker questions every day when class starts from the homework-try to get there on time. His lectures are all on Canvas which help for exams.

Lots of reading, a chapter due 2-3/3 class periods in a week, except for rare occasions. Reading quiz to test comprehension on said reading at the beginning of class. Class is very much lecture-based, but they are clear and pretty interesting. Super willing to explain things and take questions, really funny and you can tell he really loves teaching

He's a pretty funny dude so the lectures were entertaining. He teaches extremely clearly as well. There were quizzes at the beginning of each class which meant if you were running behind at all you lost points for the day. I wasn't a big fan of the homework and reading, I didn't get much from it. I found most value being in class. Good guy.

I enjoyed having him as my teacher. He was passionate about astronomy and funny too! The homework and reading got a little tedious because it was all the time. Overall, it was an interesting class and I liked learning about astronomy.

Super easy A. He prepares you for tests well. You need to skim the book before class, then he has a little quiz on that reading, then he lectures, then you have online homework. It was a moderate amount of work, but it made the tests a breeze. He has you memorize several constellations, and you get to take the test like 3 times and keep your best.

Professor Draper's lectures were easy to follow and understand. I was in an 8am class but the class was engaging enough to keep me awake. Lots of busy work. Reading the textbook is crucial. There is online homework for each section of reading but the homework is really helpful in preparing for the exams.

There is a test every morning based on textbook reading you're required to do every day so attendance is important. Lots of homework but it is very easy. Draper makes it super easy to get an A in the class and gives out any sort of help he can. The textbook, homework assignments and tests are all online. Requires a clicker.

For ASTR1040 specifically, Professor Draper makes the class easy enough to pass as long as you show up and do the assignments. The course load is extremely manageable, especially since you can and are encouraged to work ahead where possible. Copy his 'study guide' slides into a separate doc to answer and prepare for exams. Solid class.

This was a small lecture class (40-60 students) and it was a pretty easy GE. Daily lectures, reading assignments, and homework make up most of the grade. There are four tests, but they're open book/open note. And a final 2 page essay that he grades easy. Attendance is measured by a post-class lecture quiz so it can affect your grade a little bit.

Prof. Draper is very knowledgeable and passionate about astronomy and conveys that in his teaching. Lectures got a little long but he does his best to keep you engaged by asking questions throughout. I was in a bigger class with around 300 students and he did a great job. Overall great professor and interesting topic.

Professor Draper is AMAZING. His class was so much fun and I learned so much!

Professor Draper was my favorite teacher I have ever had. I was nervous to take this course because I knew nothing about astronomy. He made everyone feel welcome and helped anyone who was confused. You have clicker questions every class so attendance is mandatory. He really cares about what he does and about his students. I loved taking his class!

He's a teacher that actually teaches his students! He is masterful at explaining concepts in different ways to help you understand. He makes science accessible from how he explains everything. He's passionate about science and doesn't expect you to lean more than you need to at this level. I'd retake from him in a heartbeat.

Dr. Draper is a nice and very knowledgeable professor. He made his class easy to understand. Tests were open book. Easy A if you go to class and complete all of the reading assignments and homework.

He was such a great professor! His lectures were funny and interesting. I would take his class again!

This is the second class I have taken from professor Draper. I love his classes and the way he teaches. If you don't like listening to lectures every class for the whole class then don't take his class. He explains things well and it's interesting and makes sense. Can get a little boring at times but he's great!

Super fun and entertaining... definitely recommend

I took this class online and did fairly well. Professor Draper makes his expectations and criteria very clear, but the class was mostly self guided so I didn't have a ton of interaction with him. Lots of reading and lectures but fortunately the material is interesting. Good option. I think the class would've been better in person.

Dr. Draper really knows his stuff and is passionate about it as well. He really cares for his students and his class is really organized. Not much of a work load tests are fairly easy.

Great class and super easy. He uploads lecture videos for each module but he is very enthusiastic about the material and makes it really fun to learn. He is available outside of class and responds very quickly to emails. Do the homework and you will pass. :)

Ive never been great at science, and I did struggle a few times in this class, but I still retained a decent amount and found the class pretty engaging. Draper is a very caring and approachable guy, and the class, though a bit fast for me at times, felt very thought out and was very interesting.

I loved Dr. Draper. He was so much fun! I took the online course and there is quite a bit of homework, but it's not too hard if you watch the lectures. He knows his stuff, and has a great way of explaining things!

Professor Draper is a great lecturer, and can be quite amusing! I do, however, think I cried more over the textbook than when my grandpa died. It is a lot of reading, homework, and busy work. I am pretty awful at science, which could contribute to how much time it took, but I spent between 3-4 hours a day reading just to understand. Great lectures!

Dr. Draper is fantastic! His lectures are very entertaining and the content is super interesting. Get ready to do a lot of homework and reading though, because there is a lot. If you do the reading and pay attention in class, you'll be fine. Dr. Draper will take all your questions, he knows his stuff.

Doctor Draper is a really good professor here who you can tell actually enjoys his job. He loves teaching and it shows, his lectures are engaging and humorous. He is very understanding and not a hard grader at all. Yes attendance was mandatory but it honestly wasn't a hastle at all because I actually liked coming to this class.

Dr.Draper has been an amazing professor! He does require quite a bit of reading, but it's doable and honestly, it's been the class I've learned the most. He doesn't give you homework just to give you homework, he does it so you can actually LEARN the stuff. His lectures are so fun and loves when the class participates.

Dr. Draper was very enthusiastic about the subject, and taught in a way that made the subject very interesting. He always respected the comments and questions of each student in a kind way, which really encouraged me to not be afraid to participate in class. One of the best professors and best classes I've had during my time at UVU.

Very funny guy who understands if something comes up in your personal life. I got really sick and couldn't make it to lectures and he gave me an extension. Months later my dog ate chocolate as well told him about it he understood why my project wasn't turned in on time. I wish he had a nerf gun to shoot the kids that spoke too much.

Dr. Draper is very passionate about science, but understands most students taking this course are looking for an introductory level. He provides great information and answers questions well. Though there is regular homework and reading required, I found it all very interesting and beneficial. I would recommend this course to everyone!

Best professor on campus, dude is a walking W

Dr. Draper was an amazing professor. He always tried his best to answer students questions, and he knows so much about the subject. He's also very well spoken. The classes are lecture heavy, and for participation he has quizzes he'll give in the class and you have to remember the answers. Final was to write a paper.

He lectures every day but they're good. Heavy homework assignments a few times a week and occasional projects that are alright but time consuming. Easy going professor, easy lectures, kind of difficult homework but time consuming. If you just set aside an hour or two a week, you can finish all the assignments for that week in one go

Dr. Draper is amazing!! He is super passionate about space and I learned so much from him! Lecture heavy but he answers any and all questions during. Quick to reply to emails. Honestly you can find the answers in the book for the quizzes and answers to hw on quizlet lol. I highly recommend this class and this prof, he was AMAZING!!!

I have been doing research with Dr. Draper, and I have learned a lot, even though I haven't gotten very far into the physics major yet. Dr. Draper is super helpful for students with learning disabilities, and is super patient.

If you are looking for a fairly easy/interesting science credit this is it. Dr. Draper is a great professor and keeps class interesting and loves what he does. He is willing to help students out and the work is fairly easy.

Great lectures and kept you interested the whole time. The only issue I had was he used a software for homework that wasn't canvas and the software costed $100 for the semester and you had no choice but to pay. If you are tight with money dont take the class otherwise I enjoyed the class.

Professor Draper was a great teacher this semester. I learned a lot during his lectures and his sense of humor and his passion for what he is talking about really keeps you engaged. If you pay attention in class the tests and homework are super easy and he is flexible with reviewing as needed. I would recommend this class for an easy, chill A.

Take this class! He is the best, and the class is easy.

You can tell Dr. Draper has a love for astronomy. His passionate lectures really made the class fun and entertaining. He always made me laugh and its great to have a professor passionate about what their teaching. I wish he was more involved with the student's and getting to know their names but other than that, I recommend his class!

Dr. Draper is by FAR the best professor I have ever had. His love for the subject really shines and inspires me to learn. He cares deeply about all of his students and always does whatever he can to support you and your learning. Even when the content may be a little confusing or difficult to grasp, he always makes sure to explain thoroughly.

Dr. Draper makes astronomy fun and engaging. His passionate lectures kept me hooked. While homework can be time-consuming, Unstuckstudy was a helpful study tool. Overall, I'd recommend this class for an interesting science credit.

Professor Draper is AWESOME. He is clearly passionate about Astronomy, and his lectures were informative as well as entertaining. He answered questions and gave genuinely useful/interesting insight PLUS he is funny! This class helped me decide that I wanted to major in Physics.

This guy is the best. Prof. Draper, at least in my class, was extraordinarily passionate about the subject, and answered every question with respect and insight. If You take an astronomy course, make sure it's with him.

Professor Draper is exactly who I would want teaching... anything. He's an incredibly passionate guy, at least about astronomy, and is extraordinarily great at answering your questions, treating them as genuinely valid questions (because they always are!) If You can take from Prof. Draper, do it.

Astronomy is an interesting science, and Christian keeps it really fun the whole time. The lectures were almost always pretty interesting, and I learned a lot from them. The tests were a little daunting for me, but he covers everything on it, so pay attention.

This class wasn't too difficult but there are a lot of assignments. You have to read the chapters of the online textbook and take a reading quiz. Each chapter has a homework assignment. There are also numerous tests and projects throughout the semester. All tests are open note and book. Overall great class!

AMAZING, professor Draper made me consider changing my major several times during this course simply from his amazing teaching, sense of humor, and simple yet effective assignments. If I could recommend any one professor at uvu, it would be Dr Draper. The class is simple yet you learn so much and I looked forward to going every day.

I'm glad I took this class. There's a lot of reading which I found difficult to stay caught up on but the homework load overall is definitely manageable. The only writing required was a two page paper for the final. Learned a lot and I'm glad to be able to identify so many objects in the night sky now. Dr. Draper's a funny and reasonable guy.

Dr. Draper is amazing! Take Astronomy from him if you need a science credit. He is so passionate about teaching astronomy; his lectures were so fun. I feel like I learned a lot from his approach. Getting to go to star parties and planetarium shows for credit was super nice as well.

It is not hard at all to not just pass his class, but to get the highest grade that you want, in it. Professor Draper makes it easy to learn the class material, and his enthusiasm definitely infects the lectures, in a way that even keeps you attentive in the dimly lit planetarium. Even an Astronomy student would enjoy taking this class.

Dr. Draper is a really good and funny professor; his lectures are always interesting, but he does move very fast. You're better off taking notes while reading your textbook. Hes very good at teaching and he clearly cares about his class.

I never had any problems. Expectations and homework were pretty clear. Every week you have to read some of the textbook for the lesson, do homework around 11 questions, and then a discussion every Friday. He does have videos to watch after the textbook reading which can take a lot of time, but can be skipped.

Great professor! If you can (all you business majors) take this class instead of chemistry or physics, it's a million times easier.

Awesome professor! He was an easy grader and super understanding for assignment extensions. He even posted class videos going over textbook material, and they were all awesome! He is entertaining and funny, and clearly passionate about the subject.

The teacher was always willing to answer questions and able to explain things clearly. He clearly knew the material very well and was passionate about it. The workload was perfectly manageable; nothing ever felt like busy work. Such a fun and interesting class!
