pretty good teacher.....really easy to take notes...all questions for test are from the notes...

glenn rocks, just don't try and cheat, the man has eagle eyes.

glenn is one of the dorkiest guys in the world but i loved him! his tests were really hard and its kind of hard to pay attention in class because it gets boring, so i would suggest taking advantage of the study skills mentor group.

Great guy. I was intimidated by the subject at first but Tiede made this class a walk in the park. I learned alot in this class and made astronomy seem interesting. His tests are not that hard as long as you pay attention.

Glenn is hilarious, just not in a laugh out loud kind of way. He's such a dork, and I loved him for it. The tests are all right from the notes, but sometimes it's hard to stay away in the dark planetarium in those comfortable chairs...take a nap before class. I'd recommend taking him

those chairs are amazing!!! he is a great guy and seems to know u even if he has over 100 people in his class, kinda wierd, but still. his tests are so so, just study. he is very nice and it is easy to get a B or higher.

Very easy to fall asleep in class, good notes, but have to attend to get them. Do the star gaze... Take all of your exams if you can, he drops the lowest one.

Great class, knows what he is talking about.

Prof. Tiede knows what he's talking about. He's an actual astronomer and explains all topics in ways that are easily understandable. His exams are not complicated and little math (except for math concepts) was involved in ASTR 201. He speaks very clearly and doesn't mumble - good for a teacher that lectures a lot. Excellent instructor.

Glenn is a great guy. Very fun outside of class. His lectures may be boring, but he is an actual astronomer and knows what he is talking about. Just talk to him about South Park because he loves that show.

Hard to stay awake in those comfy chairs other than that if you look at the notes and do the online homework you should get nothing lower than a B

Very good teacher class is pretty interesting if you like that kind of stuff. He is very good at explaining concepts, I would suggest taking this class, and if you do talk to him after class at least once, he is very nice and helpful

Tiede is a really nice guy and extremely helpful in class. He is really funny if you get nerdy references and he likes to chat, about just anything. I would recommend his class some days are more exciting then others but when he is excited about what he teaches you can tell, class is more fun then. Homework makes the course easy ;-)

I really enjoyed professor Tiedes class. He seemed very knowledgable which really helps and he is always willing to help you if you're having any problems. No mandatory homework, just some class activities. Exams are difficult but you just have to study. I really enjoyed his class and actually learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone.

He goes into way to much detail then needed. I went to just all the lectures, and did most of the homework, but when the tests came around, I would literally laugh b/c I had no idea what 1/2 of the questiosn were asking. I thought the class was tough and would stay far away. He was a nice guy and really knew his stuff, he just makes it to confusing

really nice and teaches for those who do have an interest and even those who don't

His notes are very good and he is very clear. Really likes his job and is a professional in his subject. However, exams are somewhat hard, but if you study correctly, you can get a good grade. Homework is not truned in and is for the student.

He's a jolly man.

Great teacher, very jolly and enjoyable. If you have an interest in astronomy, he is the man to take. If you want an A , go to class & take decent notes. He is a great resource and is very knowledgable and doesn't talk over your head, also very willing to help. Highly recommended!!!

I had to take this class as a science requirement- and I have to say he gave a great amount of resources to make the class passable and was always very very helpful. He was very good at explaining this and making it relatable. His overall personality made the class much more tolerable. Great professor!

He was an awesome teacher who made lessons really interesting even though it was science. His powerpoints were easy to understand and he didn't read off of them. He added information and talked in an interesting tone rather than monotone. Definitely a good professor!

I always had a subtle interest in astronomy, but he sealed it.

Great professor. Made the class very interesting. Had in class activities that gave you credit for showing up. Great interest in the subject. I went to every class and enjoyed it a lot. Definatley recommend.

Very easy to understand. Gives many in class activities to boost your grade.

Seriously an AWESOME proffesor! So passionate about his subject and LOVES to teach. However, astronomy is not an easy subject BUT he gives alot of opportunity for points, and gives answers to all homework AND exams. It takes work but he is an AWESOME person!!

If you are not a science major, this class was pretty difficult for me. HOWEVER, Dr. Tiede is one of my favorite professors at BGSU because he does whatever it takes to help students. Gives answers to homeworks and exams so he makes it easy to study. Its difficult but he is a great teacher. Very enthusiastic!!

Dr. Tiede is very professional and really loves the subject he teaches. I really didn't care much about astronomy before I took his class, but I needed it for my major and now it's one of my favorite classes. The homework is not mandatory. Go to lectures and take notes and you'll do fine. I haven't even opened my text book once and I have an A.

THE ACTUAL MAN. best class i've ever taken, but when the tests come around, its psycho-stimulant time. not easy, great teacher, cool content, got me into astronomy as a whole. so passionate about the subject too. guy is a genius.

Loved the class, thought he was a great teacher. He always found ways to keep the material interesting by relating it to the big picture. There are weekly homeworks and in class activities, plenty of opportunities for extra credit too. His tests are nice because you only have to answer 5 out of 7 questions. Would highly recommend this professor!

Dr. Tiede is an outstanding professor! The content can be difficult but he is extremely willing to help out and further explain if needed. He holds weekly astronomy lunches in the union and it is clear that he cares about his students. ASTR 3050 is an amazing course even if science is not your strong suit. Highly recommended!

Dr. Tiede was a great professor. He showed a very clear and keen interest in the subject material and always made sure that his lectures were engaging. He is very well organized, but he does not post his notes online. Make sure you attend class and write down anything he writes on the board. If you do this you can pass with a very good grade.

Very good coverage of course material in a clear manner. Related activities were creative and engaging, and aided practical understanding of material and core concepts. Also held a weekly lunch meet just before office hours when I took the course, and likely still does.

He is an incredibly smart man and I really enjoyed his lectures.

Difficult class because Dr. Tiede is incredibly smart and thinks everyone has the knowledge he does. Focuses too much on math and physics instead of stars and actual interesting space concepts. Incredibly friendly guy who is always willing to help students however he can

Dr. Tiede is a very clever, very engaging lecturer who is very passionate about the subject. There're several in class mini pop-quizzes as well as three exams, so turning up to class is very important. As long as you pay attention, take notes, and know how to get help when you need it you'll be sure to pass fine!

Glenn is extremely passionate about this subject which is good and bad. Meaning he's extremely knowledgable on the subject but he tends to get caught up in the passion instead of getting through the material. The tests are difficult as well, make sure you actually do the HW he puts on canvas, those help a lot even though they aren't graded.

Dr. Tiede is a great professor. He grades mostly from tests and some participation. If you show up to class and pay attention you should get an A.

Dr. Tiede is an incredibly passionate instructor who takes an already interesting topic and frames it in a thought provoking way. Truly an exciting professor to have if you are interested in astronomy.

Glenn is an awesome, sweet little guy who loves stars.

Tiede has worked for NASA so he really knows what he is talking about and he is very knowledgeable. In class quizes are important but he lets you work with others around you. If you follow the study guide and take notes in class most days it is an easy B

Attendance - once a week by pop quiz. Only grades on these and three exams but if you pay attention and study it was not bad

He is very knowledgeable but explains things very fast in his lectures. It would be helpful if he broke things down more. You need to pay attention in class and try not missing class often because it's easy to fall behind. He posts all the power points he lectures in class which is REALLY helpful. Online quizzes and homework helps your grade.

Glenn is a wonderful guy and professor. He really wants his students to succeed and he enjoys teaching Astronomy. He loves his job and you can truly tell. The course is difficult and the content is heavy but Dr. Tiede does his best to explain it and always makes himself available if you need him. I definitely recommend getting the book and reading!

Glenn is wonderful, you can tell he is passionate about Astronomy. This class is lecture heavy and challenging, the notes are online however I recommend showing up because he goes into detail. The downside to this class is the only grades are in-class assignments, stargaze and 3 exams.

Professor Tiede was an amazing professor. His lectures left me amazed at points. There is no homework throughout this class however, there are random classroom activities and exams that account for your overall grade. The exams are quite difficult, unless you pay attention throughout lectures and study prior to taking them.

Class wasn't my cup of tea, but the professor was nice and had a fair grading scale. Little bit difficult to keep track of grades since he didn't use canvas.

I thought his remote class was pretty simple and to the point. He had a very specific agenda of when he posted HW/Lectures and it was easy to fit them into your week (his lectures were recorded not live). He also is very enthusiastic about what he teaches and he uses good examples in his lectures.

Proffesor Tiede was a super funny guy and cares about his students. I am a B-average student and still got an A in his class. Just pay attention and study for the exams and you will do fine.

He is very passionate about his teaching. He loves to share his knowledge and it makes the class so fun. Exams are difficult but I promise if you pay some attention and do the weekly questions (not required) then you'll pass. He does not take attendance, but he does activity sheets like once a week and it helps boost your grade. Love this class!

The professor is very skilled in conveying information via lecture to the students in interesting and clear ways. Even though the information can be complex and expansive, it is communicated in an entertaining, engaging, and pragmatic manner.

As long as you're fine with lecture heavy courses you will do fine. Glenn Tiede was an amazing professor & provides awesome examples to help you understand things better. Take notes & also more than definitions know concepts. I read ahead in the textbook what we are going to learn in class to understand the material better.

Tiede is an awesome professor. It is hard to not pay attention during his lectures, as he keeps his students engaged.

He has really good lectures that are interesting to listen to, if you're listening. If you dont pay attention its hard to keep up. There aren't like any outside of class assignments. once a week he does weekly questions and that plus your exam scores is your grade in the class. he explains things very visually

This professor is someone that you can tell is very passionate for what he teaches and is a very smart guy. If you go to class, you are guaranteed to learn something interesting from him. The class does go very fast so if you take this class, I highly recommend going to at least most of the lectures. But overall a nice guy and good instructor.

He's so passionate about what he does but the class is so lecture-heavy. He also has a lot of jokes and makes the lectures interesting but there is no homework so the class so your grade relies on in-class work and exams. So pay attention and diligently take notes so you can look back on it and understand.

The textbook is not needed. You don't need to do the readings as long as you pay attention in class. Attendance is not mandatory but recommended. He gives out "activities" that are three questions randomly. You can use people around you, notes, and the internet. It is a very easy class as long as you pay attention and take notes. Great professor.

The lectures in this class are very engaging. Dr. Tiede is extremely knowledgeable, and is able to relate difficult concepts using real-life analogies extremely well. He grades easily, he encourages technology use for academic purposes, and assesses weekly with in-class written activities. He is accessible, approachable, and affable.

Professor Tiede's lectures are the best i've ever had. He posts his notes online, and provides us with weekly practice questions to help us know what we need to study. He is also very good with overall pedagogy, and makes me want to change my major to astrophysics. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND HIS CLASSES!!!

I loved Glenn, I liked his teaching style and his cadence felt very effective. Some of the material was boring while some was fascinating and delivered the content effectively. The textbook isn't necessary, read it only once and got an A. Weekly pop quizzes, so make sure to go to class! I'm very glad I took this course and enjoyed Glenn's teaching.

He was one of my favorite professors! I always looked forward to my class with him. He is fun to listen to in lectures and only gives out three easy-question quizzes every so often and two exams and a final. If you study what he tells you to and go over the powerpoints you will get an A. Overall, an amazing class and professor. Highly recommend!

Lecture attendance is a essential to succeeding in this course. If you don't feel like showing up three times a week, skip it. He is incredibly accessible outside of class though - he is very prompt about responding to emails and has lots of office hours. He's very good about going over material again outside of class if you need some more help.

Tiede's lectures are engaging, but the class can be lecture-heavy. Attend class, use the study tools like unstuck ai, and you'll do well. Exams are worth a lot, so be prepared.

I love Dr. Tiede. However, he does not post grades. He gives great lectures, but there are very few assignments for a grade. You have to do very well on exams.
