teaches okay...but is very boring...doesn't try to create more interest between the students and the subject matter. she should feel great that she has such an interesting topic to teach (colour)...

Good prof~ She is willing to answer your question, and really helpful~~ The exams are ok if you study the note~~She speaks very clearly. She uses variety ways for teaching this course. I think I would definitely choose her class in the future~~

she is very easy going during class, but i think her marking is a little harsh~ but she is very nice~ her teaching style is not like university, is more liek high school~ but is pretty good :D no text book is the best~

Nice prof, grading's not so tough. She's eager to help students, but to some questions asked in class her asnwers were always "i don't know". Just take her course if u r willing to learn something interesting and not needing to go too deep in sc

She is a wonderful lecturer and a great person. If I majored in science I would take all her classes!

This course is really easy. The material is interesting and there is no textbook. yes the prof is a little boring and writes everything down and goes over it 2-3 times but that makes the course easy. there are 2-3 easy assignments. Go to every class and take notes.tests are straight from the notes she writes down on the board.no surprises. EASY A!

The sweetest lady! She is soo knowledgable and extremely interested in her content! her teaching style is very 'high school' which makes it extremely attainable to succeed! exams are fair and straight forward! highly recommend taking any class with her!!

Robin is a great Prof. Very little math involved and the content was quite interesting! Assignments were easy and exams were straight forward. Yes, she may have a monotonious tone but she really does have a passion for the content. She is very accomodating and overall cares for your wellbeing. Attend the lectures, be engaged and study- EASY A.

i found that she was all over the place in lecture but its not bad since she types up class notes, assignments were super easy and tests were based on what she taught in lecture. i'm horrible at science but this was a easy course, go to class once in a while and just ASK if you dont understand something, she's super nice and will explain

Amazing prof, will be there to help if you ask for it.

Great prof! She made me like science and astronomy. Amazing lectures. Covers everything broadly and answers all questions. There are too many tests but if you study for them and do all your assignments carefully, good results are achievable. Definitely take her course. She's literally great!

She's a very sweet, passionate prof. There is a lot of material she covers, and pretty quickly so be ready to take tons of notes. Exams are hard, but very straight forward. if you study, you will do fine. She puts up review questions every class which makes it easier to study when it comes times for exam.

Kingsburgh is great. No readings. Her assignments encourage students to actually learn. Her tests are tough, but she helps students prepare. Some concepts are hard, but she simplifies them and helps non-science students follow. Success is tied to effort in her class - work hard and you can get an A or A+. Attend class, take good notes and study.

Assignments are interesting and fairly easy and you have a lot of time to work on them. Her tests are very HEAVY, lots of material to know. However, she prepares you, she's always willing to help, answer questions and stays after class. She provides lecture reviews after every class and thats all and those are directly on the test. 3 tests 3 assig

Great prof- her lectures may be long, but she really helps reduce material needed for exams. Assignments were easy 90s. She added bonus in-class quizzes to help the averages of students. Very caring, very accommodating and very funny! Videos we watched in class were mostly interesting. Definitely taking this course again!

Class was relatively easy, make sure to at the very least skim the readings, as they do pop up on the test! I found the assignments to be marked harshly but tests can definitely bring your mark up if you study. Very similar experience to NATS1570 Online (Exploring the Solar System).

Understanding Colour (remember the u!) with Robin Kingsburgh was a great learning experience. There was care to return emails, set up special arrangements, bring examples for new modules, and reinforcing learning for all types of students. I enjoyed the labs. The topics were interesting and varied. Robin was proactive. The course is challenging.

She told us not to buy a textbook for the class, and gave lots of really interesting lectures. The lectures could be really heavy sometimes tho, especially near the end of the course, but she gives at least 1 break. She records lectures always when anything prevents students from coming like snowstorms, so you can catch up online.

Robin is an excellent prof teaching a straightforward course. 3 projects, which are easy- unless TA marks hard (Robin will remark if you ask) and 3 exams. Lectures are recorded and uploaded online, so you dont really have to go to class if you keep up with your notes. Study hard and its an easy A. Content is like grade 10 science.

3 Tests and 3 exams. Exams were tricky bc they required so much info. No textbook needed. Prof is very passionate, though lectures can be heavy at times. Shes a sweet lady to talk to and wants you to learn from your mistakes. She is a solo prof (no TA/ prof #2) so she puts in 110%. Recommend you attend lectures - writes on the board. Ask questions!

there are no participation marks. but if you want to pass you must show up and take notes. very passionate prof, she is friendly after class. if you can please take a nap before class, her voice is monotone. the final class average is 72. make sure to be precise when writing the short answer questions. just stick to your notes and you'll be good.

I took Dr. Kingsburgh's History of Astronomy class and it was seriously one of the best classes I've ever taken! Wanna learn about the ancient pyramids, Stonehenge, black holes? A thoroughly interesting class. It was easy to get high marks, just copy everything she writes on the board and powerpoints. We got to watch some cool documentaries too!

Dr. Kingsburgh was such an amazing professor that didn't hide any criteria for success. I took her online course and she was very organized and made her assignments clear. If you pay attention and put some effort in your work, it will pay off. I wish I was able to restart her course, she made it very interesting!

This wasn't a bird course, but even if you aren't the best at science, the professor still does a pretty good job at teaching the concepts. The course is time-consuming though, and there are a lot of assignments and weekly quizzes, but she drops the lowest grades. The exams are a bit difficult but if you study you should be good.

Great professor! Super heavy course (it's double speed tho) - most work I've put into a course. But the material is SO fascinating, and the prof does a really great job explaining complex physics & astronomy concepts in a way we can understand. Uses a lot of animations and videos too so great for visual learners. Definitely not a bird course tho!

Students must know that Professor Kingsburgh is a very fair professor. What you get, you deserve. You must to take into consideration that she is also dealing with hundreds of students but is still taking the time to help each individual. My advice to any student taking her NATS 1745 course is show up, put in the effort and you will do just fine.

Very caring professor towards her students and you can tell she cares a lot about astronomy.

Be ready to memorize a lot. However, she is really good at preparing students for tests. Quizzes are not that hard, as well as assignments. Midterm and final exam are both can be easily done by memorizing notes she makes while lecturing. No textbook - her slides are really easy to understand.

She is overall such a precious teacher. people expect a bird course and get upset that it isnt. content heavy, but if you listen in lecture and do the quizzes it prepares you well for everything. She is clearly passionate about all the research she has done and has an engaging teaching style. All assignments were so fun! so interesting, learnt sm!

Lectures are interesting but heavy. The professor is so caring and easy grader.
