Britt is pretty cool, has some cool stuff to say. Gives 10% of your grade to easy quizes, the rest are tests. Be carefull, dont miss class. 6 points extra credit is also available.

It is pretty boring at 7:30 am, if you really like AST its a good class, if your just in it to avoid Chemistry, think again. It is no easy anything! He does the whole class by slide show and will help you with anything you need, a very informed professor.

AWESOME!

VERY nice guy! Love what he teaches! Notes are on powerpoint so its easy to learn the material. You don't even have to buy the book for the class.

Very nice guy. I hate science but he kept me interested throughout the semester

He was a wonderful teacher!!! I never thought I would be interested in astronomy, but I now am. He gives extra credit and online quizzes that are pretty easy. Tests are difficult . . .but he gives you slides for everything- his review and the class lec

I never really realized that Astronomy could be this fun! Professor Britt rocks. He speaks slowly enough to be understood, he loves being interrupted for questions, and he knows so much! 10/10 in my book! Keep up the good work, man!

Very easy class, other reviewers are probably mad because they skipped too many classes. Britt is a super genius and makes the material very understandable. I briefly looked over the book and it was much more confusing than his lectures. I didnt need any extra credit and got an A. We had 2 other astronomy subs and they totally sucked.

Ditto what the last person said. This is a very easy class if you go to the lectures as Dr. Britt makes everything simple and humorous. He gives an awesome review which makes tests somewhat easy. You'll enjoy all of his crazy stories too, like the time when he worked on pathfinder's special camera that could look though people's clothes.

teacher is boring, but he's very nice and helpful. you need to study step by step, read a book and do quizzes by yourself to learn the material. I got an A because I studied. if you slacker, you'll fail. well that's pretty much what happens in most of the classes. I loved astronomy, it's fascinating how our universe is constructed...

I have to agree with what the others said below me as well. The tests were relatively easy as well, just study the quizzes like I did and I got an A on them. The reviews aren't that bad either, definitly the most important time to go to class

I got an A and not an A- so I don't know what they were talking about. Definitly with the quizzes, study them. he is a very intelligent and brilliant man.

If you study you'll do well. This is how to get an A in his class: download the lectures and make notes out of them (his lectures are so boring), study the quizzes for the tests, and go to the review sessions and study those. Follow those steps and you get an A.

Don't go to class, waste of time! Keep up with the quizzes, and study those! Do the extra credit and your guarnteed an A!

This is a good person who teaches very interesting information. Personally, I find the subject matter and class very boring. But that does not mean you can't do well. Mr. Britt does care & if you work, you will do just fine.

The guy is crazy funny. I've never laughed so much in a class in my life. He made the subject easy to understand. He teaches you something, then he explains it using an axample anyone can relate to. The man has been everywhere and has plenty of crazy stories. Highly recomend it.

Earned an A, if you read the book and understand the concepts you dont really have to go to class or memorize the quiz questions. The first test is the most difficult, the second is extremely easy the third is moderate, the final is easy.

Great teacher! I got a 99 in the class and didn't even buy the book. All you have to do is the tutorials on masteringastronomy.com and you'll do great. I loved this class!

Let me start off by saying this class should be EASY if you try. If you don't try at all, don't rate him as hard; you are just stupid. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Just buy the Mastering Astronomy Online subscription. It is a crime that he even tells you to buy the book. MEMORIZE the Online quizzes and PPT slides and you will get a high A.

I am a Political Science Major... I get straight A's and I got a B in this class!!!! Even after MEMORIZING the quizes, the slides, and my own notes, I still couldn't manage to get an A b/c his test questions do NOT reflect his reviews or the material! Don't take him unless you have to!!!!

DO NOT BUY THE BOOK FOR THIS CLASS! I guarantee you will NEVER open it. Britt makes lectures interesting (he's funny, easy to understand), but his exams get more difficult as you progress. DONT FORGET his online exams or you will get screwed come grading time. Overall, good professor, but again DONT BUY THE BOOK!!!

He has many many many powerpoint slides, his review does not help at all before tests, and he rambles. Those are the only negatives for the class. I am awful at science, and I managed to get a B+. Even though the class is boring, he is actually really funny, in a corny way. Study the notes and you will pass the class with a B. I recommend him!

Look forward to his class :) I have him in the honors college and he's really great about keeping everyone involved - loves questions/ class participation. Astronomy is hard but if you truly want an A he is not an obstacle to letting you achieve it, quite the opposite. He really wants everyone to get an A - he just doesn't hand them out for free.

The smartest professor I've had. You will learn a lot. gives quizes. Test are not easy but not hard. gives extra credit for participation, that put me from a B to A Solid A. offers an extra credit paper worth +4% of final grade. He truely wants everyone to participate, learn, and get an A. Ties the material to real life problems.

His lectures were hilarious. I throughly enjoyed this class. I came in one day when I was really sick because I enjoyed his lectures so much. His tests weren't too difficult if you did the readings. He did miss a few classes because of conferences he had to attend, which was unfortunate. Also, grades aren't on webcourses which makes it hard.

I had Britt for Honors Astronomy, and he was phenomenal. Taught the material well and is very knowledgeable on the subject. You are required to read and are quizzed randomly, but Britt grades very generously, giving credit for close or even answers that make him laugh. I learned a lot and had fun doing so!

This class was one of my favorites. At first, the professor seems very intimidating because he'll ask people questions individually for participation credit but you'll soon realize that as long as you make some sort of an attempt he'll give you credit. The online quizzes are easy and exams aren't too bad considering he gives you a study guide.

I never listened to the lectures, and never read the textbook, and I still got a B. If you dont have a lot of time to invest in the course, you can pretty much Google everything and still pass. Youre graded on weekly quizzes and 3 tests including the final. Theyre all fairly easy, and Dr. Britt is quick at responding to emails.

Took online, no zoom. If you want to do well you def need to listen to all lectures and do the weekly reading. As an intro course it is just challenging enough where you actually learn, but still easy for non science majors to understand. Only grades are tests and exams so make sure you do well on those. Wish I could have taken in person!

This class made me consider minoring in Astronomy. You gotta pay attention to the lectures and it helps to write down the information. The tests cover exactly what he says in the lectures, if you pay attention it's an easy A. Great professor, he makes everything seem easier to understand!

I absolutely love Dr. Britt. He is so funny and kind. I loved this class, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. I recommend sitting in the first two rows for extra credit. His lectures have a lot of info but are informative and entertaining. Take notes on his words only, he posts all the ppts so you can go back later. Quizzes each week on notes

Dr. Britt is so kind! His class is hefty on lectures, and I recommend attending as many as possible. As long as you take good notes and study his review questions, it's easy to do well in his class. I highly recommend taking advantage of the extra credit opportunities. There are 3 exams worth 90% of the grade, with a quiz every week worth 10%.

Great class, was definitely challenging and a heavy majority of your grade comes from the exams. I didn't use the textbook except to answer the study guide but feel like it would've helped me in retrospect. Majority of the content comes from the lectures and he gives extra credit for engaging and asking questions.

I took Dr. Britt for astronomy as well as meteorology. I adore this man. He is so sweet and funny. His ppts are very thorough. SO much extra credit. He is super understanding and takes the time to make good test reviews. Not an easy A, but def possible with focus and hard work! Take notes on what he says in class bc he gives a lot of great info.

Amazing professor! Lectures can be very interesting if you pay attention, quizzes are fairly simple, most of your grade comes from 3 in person exams, but if you study you'll do great. Amazing professor.

I loved astronomy with Dr. Britt! His humor and passion for the subject make the lectures easier to sit through for a subject that can become complicated. He also gives extra credit to those who ask questions! I didn't get to attend nearly as many lectures as I should've, so my grade is a reflection of me rather than him. Fantastic professor!

Powerpoints were engaging and straightforward, and I bought the textbook but only used for the first half of the semester. Graded through 3 in-person exams that are 50 questions, with an open-note 10 question quiz due every Friday. Offers extra credit for every question asked, even stupid ones :) Would definitely take another class with Dr. Britt.

If you come to class you will do fine, I didn't use the textbook at all. I had to study for the exams, but the information was a lot less difficult than I thought it would be and he gave good study guides. You can ask questions for extra credit!

Our grade came from three 50 question multiple choice exams, and he gave extra credit if you asked a question in class. All you have to do is go to class and you'll be fine, the only work I did outside of class were the little quizzes each week and a bit of studying before each exam. Never used the textbook except to study. Highly recommend

Lots of lecture material and moves very quickly through slides. Tests and quizzes are straightforward.

Three 50 question exams and weekly quizzes. Show up to class and study a bit before the exams and you'll be fine. Lectures were engaging and fun, he gives extra credit for every question asked. Never used the textbook and just studied. He is out of class quite frequently so expect a lot of guest lectures. Overall great teacher and would take again.

Professor Britt was an amazing professor for a relatively easy science GED course. He has lots of relevant experience and a good sense of humor that make the lectures entertaining, even if the coursework could be easily completed without attending. Only grades are weekly quizzes and 3 tests, so don't forget about their due dates.

Dr. Britt is incredible. Earn extra credit from basically asking questions. 10% of the grade is participation, and if you ask questions once a lecture you'll get lots of extra credit from it. He's very funny, lectures are very important to understanding the material, but he's entertaining enough it's not hard to pay attention.

I learned so much. He has great lectures and stories. Take him!

Professor Britt makes this GED course engaging with his humor and real-world experience. Attendance matters, but the work is manageable - just don't forget the weekly quizzes. Unstuck AI helped me prep efficiently for the 3 exams.

Hes very nice and considerate, if you miss an exam he will always accommodate for you. He makes the classes very entertaining and gives participation points for asking basically anything
