Really easy. He pretty much gives you full credit for the labs as long as you do them, if you mess up he might take off a few points but it wont really hurt you. Study the study guides that he gives you and you should do fine on the midterm/final. Pretty much as long as you show up every day and study for the midterm/final you should get an A.

Great if you're looking for an easy class to add. He pretty much gives you the answers to all labs and you work in group. Labs are most of the grade by the way.

If you only want to have a good grade instead of learning something, go ahead take him. Or else STAY AWAY from him. I don't even know how he becomes a professor. He lectures TERRIBLE. Ok, in another word, he can barely explain problems clearly. Students take his class because he tests homework problem from solution manuals. Waste of time.

I really enjoyed this class. Professor Haeri is passionate about the subject, and did a pretty good job explaining things. He was extremely straight forward on what he expected for tests. The majority of the class grade was based on labs, which weren't too bad. Only negative on this class is that it's late at night (necessarily) and long.

Grade is mainly based off labs, there is a midterm & final but they are easy as long as you take notes & pay attention. Not a ton of book use, lectures are the main source of information so take notes. Haeri is nice & as long as you show interest in the class & work hard you should get an A.

Interesting and enthusiastic professor. He makes learning physics enjoyable. Unfortunately I have a very hard time with Physics so I had to work VERY hard for my A. I barely managed it.

He's a, how should I say, particular professor. While he's easy in terms of labs for Astronomy, his tests are just ridiculous. No multiple choice, all fill-in, which means he expects you to know everything & study hard. He's also against extra credit, which I never understood that type of deal. He's okay, I guess. Online Astro is easy, at least.
