Expects lots of studying, tests are sometimes tricky, follow lectures closely!

Very nice, and his lectures are kind of entertaining. He really likes Astronomy, and makes it interesting for the class.

A really good teacher. Most of his class is based on his lectures; the book was of little help, but the Reader had it's uses. If you know the study guides by heart, you ace the tests! He plays soundtracks from various scifi films in class!!!

his grading system is pretty odd, but in a way a good deal at the same time. loves what he teaches. not bad.

He is really boring and time goes very slowly. He really loves astonomy but his personality is kind of dry. Just try your best and do the work and you should do fine. Good luck and stay awake.

one of the greatest teachers ta el camino. at first i thought this honors was going to be the hardest class, but the teacher is very clear (probably b/c the class size was 9 students) he makes all the concepts easy to learn if you pay attention and ask when your in doubt and hell clear it up.

Many people seem to have a problem with him, but I found his class to be amazingly easy. He was goofy, yet fun at the same time. I coasted by during the summer and still earned a B. I found his class thoroughly entertaining and informative.

At first I thought I wasn't going to pass, but I passed with a B. Study your notes! Tests are multiple choice and you must know where your stars are located(usually part of the test). Very nice guy, but weird sense of humor. Homeworks are easy...just know your stuff for test.

Very weird guy. He lets you do homework in groups of 2. I had my homework partner do all the work, and I didn't study for any of the tests and I got a B. If you study you will get an A. If you don't you will get a B. Overall pretty easy class.

Like many of the others have said here, he's somewhat difficult, has insane tests, and most of time boring lectures. With that in mind, I couldn't have chosen a better science class. He's really knowledgable, enthusiastic, and pretty friendly. If you're up to the challenge, take this class

YOU ARE AWESOME PROFESSOR LLOYD!

Prof. Lloyd is a great teacher, very enthusiastic. He's hard, but if you put in the work you should do okay. I got an A during summer session and had a great time.

his class is the best class ever! he tells stories about his own phenomenal expierences related to astronomy. he makes you want to walk on the moon!!! the tests are all the same: 45 multiple choice and 5 short answer. easy if you pay attention. if you really love the material, you'll have a blast and pass! who could ask for more? you rule lloyd! <3

This class is great. Mr. Lloyd is pretty cool and makes space interesting. It was soo easy. Just pay attention, go to class and take your notes and you can get an A. He also gives a lot of extra credit. In this particular Astronomy class (ast. 20) there is almost no math, so fear not. Most of the stuff is common since so it's not hard.

All you have to do is show up and listen. No homeworks. Tests and Quizzes are straight forward.

Easiest class I have ever taken. If you passed your health class in highschool, then you should pass with your eyes closed. No joke

His class is very boring, but he tries to make it fun and exciting. His lectures tie in with the tests exactly, and his few assignments are not hard at all. He gives awesome study guides for each test, and lets you have a 3by5 card to look at. If you get lower than a 'C' you're just lazy. I would take him again.

Great teacher! I loved him!

If you don't like him, you are an idiot. He is extremely passionate and very smart. He's my hero.

The man does not get enough credit-he is VERY knowledgeable about astronomy and other areas of science, and you WILL learn a lot from taking the class. I admit, its a bit hard, and I HIGHLY recommend you be there for the first day and onwards, since the stuff you miss when absent might make it hard for you to keep up if science is not your forte.

The guy is great, although he can get weird at times. He has a passion towards astronomy like no other. Took him in the summer: missed 3 days, didn't do the 50 point paper and I still got an A.3 tests which aren't hard at all, easy grading scale, easy assignments. There is no reason you can't get a B in the class with all the extra credit available

Lloyd is definitely an interesting character but seems like a guy who really knows what he is talking about. The lectures most of class with little activity, but the star demos are cool. The tests are fairly easy, just study and make an index card to use for the test as permitted and you will do fine.

its a fun class

Lloyd is HILARIOUS. There was a small roach crawling on his desk & he was blowing on it several times trying to get it off & he's like, "This baby cockroach has no manners!" hahah Oh man. Anyway, DO THE EXTRA CREDIT in this class - it will save you. Astro is a tough subject & does not interest me but the classroom itself is cool. I'd def take again

class is kind of boring. lectures are way too long and not interesting at all. the professor is pretty funny at times. one homework assignment per week. alternating tests and quizzes every week. take advantage of the extra credit!

He is a fairly easy teacher. You don't need the textbook. You just need the lecture-tutorials, reader, and powerpoints (optional). His quizzes and tests are based on the powerpoints and activities. Take advantage of the index card and extra credit. The 2-min presentation isn't hard.

Best Astronomy teacher I have ever had. Test are easy and lectures are easy to follow as well.

He has 4 tests, all with study guides, can have note card with answers on it for tests, sun and moon observation project once a week is EASY, interesting class, he helps you understand concepts if having trouble, 10% extra credit, nice guy and now i am going to take the next course ASTR 25, GPA booster, transferable credits to UCs & CSUs.best seats

this is a cool class. mostly just lecture and notes but he has his own website with the notes on it. gives study guides for each test and you can have have one index cards with notes for test. i loved the star projector its awesome. cool guy

I think most people get intimidated because they think astro is a hard subject but it was actually pretty easy.. All you have to do is STUDY.. like with most classes. He lets you use a 3x5 index card on each test. He offers 50 points Extra Credit!! COME ON PPL! Hes a pretty nice guy... just do the work. I got an A.

Not mandatory by teacher to attend class, but mandatory if you want to pass with a good grade. I got a C, final is optional, 2 projects, worksheets, lots of E.C, read the textbook if you want to pass! you can use a notecard on test, he tries to be funny..(tries) gives you study guide, and notes are on his website... overall he's ok

He's funny and makes the material intersting. but hes not the best at explaining things like concepts and reason. the lecture tutorials make no sense and the monthly projects are wack. the best part is the demonstrations. thier the most helpful. do the study guide well and go over the slides and youll pass

The Facts: Lets you use a 3x5 card during tests, offers 2 extra credits @ 25pts each. Doesn't care a lot about attendance, test is okay but you will need to study, really 'spacey' guy but really nice and helpful. Overall he was a good prof. I would reccomend him.

I don't understand why Prof. Lloyd has such a low rating. He's a really fun teacher. Knows his facts and is a little weird, but not in a bad way. Plus that class was pretty easy with the extra credit he gives.

Professor Lloyd is really enthusiastic about Astronomy and gives you all the tools you need to succeed in his class. Drops a test, gives 8% extra credit, study guides, thorough lecture, etc. All you got to do is out in effort and you're good to go. He;s very nice and funny as well. Take him if you're considering taking astronomy.

Very passionate about what he teaches, goes the extra mile to make sure students are prepared and understand the material. Very easy to get an A, do all of the assignments, do well on the tests, and do the extra credit. Awesome class, I would strongly recommend it.

He's a very nice and easy going teacher. The tests are a bit hard, but most of the information should be on the study guide. Super nice, should also go to the tutors, do the E.C. and write notes for the exams. If you do all that, you'll be fine.

Professor Lloyd is a really nice guy and by far the best teacher I have ever had. His classes are neither dull nor overly difficult. With index cards and study guides he gives you enough opportunity to get your A. Oh, and I love his greek mythology stories! Lol

Great teacher. It's not hard to ace his exams. Just take good notes on things he emphasizes during lectures and do the questions on his study guide and you'll do well. He also gives extra credit points that can significantly boost your grade. Overall his class was interesting.

He was so funny. I enjoyed his class very much and I am definitely going to register for astronomy 25 next semester. I loved this class.

He loves astronomy. I liked his class because it's for laymen like myself who don't know all the intricacies of astronomy. There are a lot of points but don't underestimate the weight of an assignment--especially projects. Pay attention in class, do the extra credit, and participate. I really learned a lot from and loved this class.

Professor Lloyd is an animated individual who's passion is Astronomy. Loved the course and loved his silliness. Definitely a class to take and the point when it comes to his test. Its more about understanding the concept than memorizing vocab. Loved the class! Took him in the summer time!

The teacher was really easy. All of the grades are inflated which makes it easier. I took it over the summer I don't know how the teacher is during the regular sessions.

Well, professor Lloyd is an interesting guy and clearly loves astronomy, teaching and being around students all day. It's very easy to fall asleep in his class because we are in a nice dark planetarium and in comfortable steats, but I found the lectures to be very interesting and never checked out, but I can see how others can. Easy A

I love Professor Llyod!! He was the best! His lectures were very interesting and he even made me tear up a couple times in class because of how mesmerizing the vast cosmos is. If you love astronomy, this class will not be a burden because you will basically study about the things you love! He is really funny and is very approachable. LOVE HIM

I came to about 90% of classes, there were 11 people, and even though it was difficult at times Prof. Lloyd explained things in a very simple way. Projects are simple, study a star, memorize its facts, or watch the sunset for a week and draw a diagram. If you're able to come to class every week and study and you have a good memory take this class.

Makes study guide to major tests. You are allowed an index card with notes during tests. You can work on assignments with partners. You will be blown away by how many lies you believed about the universe. Class is inside the ECC Planetarium and demonstrations are amazing!

Lloyd was a good astronomy teacher and really seemed to be passionate about the subject. There's quite the amount of tests and quizzes, but he allows a flashcard to be used. He makes you do a speech by memory on a comet/star/etc. and gives 2 projects. Honestly, it's nothing too heavy. I would definitely take him again in another astronomy course.

Professor Lloyd is an incredible professor, truly. He is fun, energetic, and truly passionate about Astronomy, which made showing up in the morning fun. He has a few tests and the lowest score is dropped. His tests truly challenge your critical thinking abilities. Class has a few homework assignments, two projects, and a speech with a partner.
