SHE IS THE BEST

If you don't call her Dr.... she will hate you forever !!!!!

very interesting class!!! quite an easy liberal course to take...

Doesn't waste time, does problems in class easy to understand

Points for speaking english!!!!!

Funny, knows her stuff, great lectures

More technical than I expected, but pretty good prof/easy marker

Very easy liberal. Prof makes lectures interesting.

She has as many scarves as she does hair-dos

Overall excellent teacher, not too funny... but physics makes sense now!

She is the cutest prof ever, she has soooo many scarves and soooo many hair do's , i really like her style. very nice and down 2 earth.

She is always like to help students and encourage them...If you have her never drop the course.

She's definitely got her own style. Great enthusiasm for her subject and not willing to pull any punches. The only person I know with a degree in Celestial Architecture ;)

Perfect physics teacher! I actually learned some physics in her class!

she is very good !!!

very easy course, no exam!

Great prof, but brutal course. She solves all your homework for you. Go to her classes and you will succeed, otherwise you'll be luckey to pass. Like Me!

easy course infact too simple but mid term was really hard but mostly on the hw problem...so if u do them then ur will get high marks if u dont ur screwed cause she pick like the hardest questions in the hw for the finals

the profs of this course are pretty much the same since they all just solve the harder problems. However she is helpful when questions are asked. The course is basically knowing your formulae

awesome prof. Absolutely awesome and very friendly and encouraging! she defn. rocks! take this course or a course w/ her.. you wont' regret it! CHEERS!

Good prof! Her choice of attire keeps you awake and focued!

She is very organized and interested in the material. A little condescending though.

Great prof who has extreme interest in the material. Very nice and has clear, interesting lectures. Advice for tests: Study up, they're not easy, but definately not unfair. Everything is fair game!

She is so interesting! She explains things so well. The only problem you may have in the class is reading her notes. She hand writes her notes some words are hard to figure out but she has no problem explaining what she wrote when asked. She's entertaining ... kinda reminds me of a Prof from Harry Potter.

She makes astronomy seem easy although its not that exciting. Don't miss a class because if you do you will be screwed. Other then that she is easy if you can take this as an elective then do so.

She's a wonderful Professor, you could never ever get a professor better than her for your astronomy course!

she is such a wonderful professor. she made astronomy so interesting for me and the tests were tricky however, all from her notes. don't miss a class with her cause you'll be screwed for the tests.

Exceptional prof! I enjoyed her classes and the notes are very understandable and clear.

very easy course, come to every class though... tests are pretty straight-forward... everything taken from notes... don't need textbook

dont buy the text, she tests you on her notes which she does on pp, go to class kuz she doesnt post them. her tests and fair and there is no final. assignment is easy and the course its easy, but can be boring kuz its astroonomy and you have to do calculations and you dont learn about planets, but its easy, she tells you the clautlations on the tes

She's a nice lady. Tests are all MC and straight forward if you study her notes. She doesn't use blackboard very much to post anything so you must go to class or borrow your friend's note. I love the movies that she show us in class. That's probably the most interesting part of the course.

Ridiculously easy and enjoyable class. No textbook, class and tests is strictly based on her notes. Helpful and easy but tend to make class feel like a beginner high school course. Overall, there is no way you can't pass with minimal effort. Just make sure your report topic is a very interesting one.

The class may sound easy, but its not. The 2 midterm test averages were around 65. She has a huge ego and wants things VERY SPECIFIC. Plus, the material is very boring.

Amazing Prof. All the tests are from her notes, so go to the class everytime cuz she doesnot put lectures online. The content of the course is very intereseting. This course is a good GPA booster. you are guaranteed an A or A+ if you put minimum amount of effort.

sort of done a little late....amazing prof, funny, witty, and interesting. Ask her about her "God story"

She's a nice person & the lectures are interesting. You have to go to class since she does not use Blackboard. Contrary to other comments, the course is not that easy. Not a guaranteed A or B for that matter.

Margaret is very easy. You just have to come to all her classes and read over the notes ONCE before an exam and you're guaranteed a good mark. SHe tells you exactly what questions are going to be on the midterms. There is no exam . She's extremely helpful as well, just a little OCD about her purse. Stay away from the podium or she'll freak out!

Take this course, as it is a very easy mark. 2 tests and one report that only needs to be 3 pages long. Just go to class, copy notes, read them over before the 30 m/c tests and laugh your way to an A. Basically, if you cannot get an A in THIS class...you should not be in university. Enjoy

Buckby! not much to say but she's nice and enthusiastic. Course is extremely easy and interesting too. If you put in a lil effort (couple hours night before test) you should get at least a B+. Tests are straightforward, no tricks. Can't believe ppl were saying this wasn't a bird course, if this isn't one then I don't know what is!

Great prof, great course. Attendance is not mandatory, but its a chills class and she makes it really interesting. 2 multiple choice tests, one report, NO FINAL! my favourite course ever! don't get the text book, not needed at all.

The prof is really good& helpful. The course is not that easy as I heard. Not a guaranteed A OR B. you have to study , memorize & have to understand her notes in order to get the mark u want. The good thing about this course is NO FINAL EXAM AND FREE 3%Attendance mark .

Nice prof, interesting course. But definitely not as easy as people claim it to be. If you plan on looking for an easy mark look for another course.

Good prof. so far but no where near as easy as you read. I've read you can come into the test with as little as 1 hour of studying and do well - no chance. The tests are kind of challenging and you NEED to study well in order to do well on them. This class is not an automatic A, you need to work for it by reading her notes. Attendance is a must.

ok this course is no longer easy. i noticed y people commented it was easy. no doubt the past exams were piece of cake,however, since she hands back the test paper, while not changing her notes, what does that conclude the next exams will keep getting harder and harder.i took this course this semi and i noticed a big difference in difficulty level.

Great prof, very enthusiastic about her subject of interest which also engages me as well as others. Downside is that we have to take notes from her powerpoints; which is ok. The course is not as easy as it was in the past without showing up to class. However, minimal effort is required to ace the course.

You can tell that she's very enthusiastic about astronomy, and that helps a lot in terms of making you interested in the content as well. However, the class isn't as easy as you might think. You still have to take notes and look over them and attendance is a must.

One of the easiest courses I've ever taken. Slides are extremely basic. Test and exam are based on slides...if you miss class she is always available for you to drop by and copy slides. Term paper is marked extremely generously, wrote mine in 3 hours and got near 100% on it. If you go to class and pay attention, hardly any studying is required.

Most interesting class I took this semester and its a liberal, too bad theres no other PCS classes yet. Buckby is a great prof-interesting choice of fashion. Course itself is getting harder class average for first midterm was 69, probably because they didn't take it seriously. Its an easy A if u work at the math portion and report is fun to do.

You have to go to class because the power points aren't posted online. The two tests are hard but she marks the report easy. You save a little money because there's no textbook.

tests are easy, but you have to study her notes. for the report, she cares way to much about the grammar rather than the content.

The course as a whole was not that hard. Just two tests straight from the powerpoints and an essay. Only thing to complain about would be that you pretty much have to attend every class, although she usually does allow students to take them down during her office hours.

Her course is very easy, I did not attend a single lecture and really just read over someone's blog that had all the notes. That being said, she has attendance marks and she doesn't post any of her notes. I got a B- without going to class or studying so it shouldn't be too hard to get an A or A+ if you put in the effort. Really easy marker as well.

Class is mandatory unless you have notes. Class notes aren't posted. 2 midterms 1 essay.. Midterms are fairly difficult. They are very detailed and you really need to know your stuff. Lots of calculations but she barely provides any examples. This is not a bird course! Don't believe the forums. Not recommended if you want an A.

Great professor, easy class. I took her PCS 181 & 182. If you go to class and take notes, it's an easy A. Just two tests, all multiple choice, and a research report.

I dont know how people are complaining, did you guys expect to walk in, get handed an A and then cut? Midterm was actually not that hard, since she tells you some of the stuff on it. She is also super helpful, I was having trouble finishing my report on time but she helped me out a lot. I would honestly say Buckby is one of my most fave profs!

Must go to the lectures for notes. Test is fairly straight out of the lectures. No additional materials. Assignment is a little more grammar focused. Relative to other electives, seems like one of the best.

Her lectures are only presented in class and never put online. That's just her way of making sure everyone shows up in class. Her tests are relatively straight forward but then again, it's all MC. READ THE QUESTIONS!

If you aren't a complete idiot her class should be a breeze.

The course PCS181 is no longer a bird course. There is no final exam however and the tests now are very difficult. It's hard to get decent mark in that class. Plus she's very strict. All the rumors about it being a easy course is invalid now as she has made the tests very difficult. Only students with science backgrounds can get decent mark

This was my favourite course at Ryerson and I took pcs182 with her too. She knows so much and explains really well. Exams are multiple choice and is on everything we learned. I liked her personality as a teacher. Would take again if there were more space courses with her. You can copy all the notes from her if you miss class.

Content can be dry at times, but Margaret keeps things interesting with videos and pictures. Overall, very good course and good professor.

must take libral. She is very passionate about the topic. Must attend class to get notes

One of the best profs in Ryerson. No textbook is required and the midterms are based on her notes only. Midterms are easy, I literally studied the morning of the test and got perfect on both of them. Science background is not required to get a decent mark. If you decide to take her course, best of luck and enjoy every bit of it:)

Margaret was a fantastic professor. Marks fair, easy tests and a great attitude. The paper often gets criticized but don't do it last minute and your grade won't be bad. NO FINALS AND NO TEXTBOOKS IN THIS CLASS. Your welcome.

Great professor who really understands what she is teaching. My favourite course this semester was PCS182 because of Prof. Buckby. Her tests are straightforward and easy as long as you attend class. There's no need for any textbooks, all test materials come from her lectures.

Alot of people tend to give Margaret a bad review which i personally disagree with. She explains all the topics covered very clearly & her lectures aren't boring at all(considering u like to listen to things related to the universe & space).You don't even need a text book,her tests are based on her lectures,just show up & listen and its a easy B-A.

Helps learn the content

Skip and you definitely won't pass unless you get good notes from others since she doesn't post notes. The content is very interesting though so I don't see why you should skip! Tests are all based on her lectures but they are very fair and straightforward tests. 2 midterms and a small paper, just put in SOME effort & you're set! Got a solid A+

Presents info as if she was going to test easily but the tests are worth a lot and they are somewhat hard. You have to be in class or you will not get the info b/c she does not post any slides nor is there a textbook.

I took Intro to Astronomy for an elective and I really loved the class. The course is lecture heavy because she doesn't post her slides but I personally loved going to lectures because the material is really interesting. There's no textbook so study the lecture material and the assignment is really easy if you follow instructions. She's so cute :)!

Margaret is such an amazing professor! I took Astronomy with her as a recommendation from a friend and I am not disappointed. Heavy in-class writing because she doesn't use d2l, however, her class are just amazing. Learning new information every lecture. Her exams were fair! Would definitely take another class with her!

The typical "bird course." Go to class, copy down notes, and memorize all the content 1-2 days before the mid terms. She's also very lenient on the marking scheme of the essay. I would take her again.

Margaret is a darling. She is just so passionate about the subject matter that it also gets the listeners excited and interested in what he has to say. She also really cares about her students. If you've missed a class and doesn't have a friend to get the notes off of, you can always go to her during her office hrs to copy the notes from her.

She's passionate about what she teaches and her lectures are interesting. You have to go to class but easy A+ if you just memorize the content.

Need to attend every class because she doesn't post slides or grades, both tests are completely based on slides.

easy just remember notes
