This class was so fun! I loved Mr. Lee. He is funny sometimes just because he is so old and senile! Seriously, three of the four answers on his last test were popcorn, ice, and pizza, and then the right answer. It is a fun class, without the hard included! You have to do one astrolab during the class, but that was so funny I nearly wet my pants

If you have a job(like i do) and can't make the Astro lab(9pm) (door is locked if you are 1 minute late) then you will go from A to a C+ like I did. That is stupid!

LOVE PRO. LEE!!! Pretty easy for a science class. You don't have to go to class, but the chairs are so comfy. He gives you an outline of each chapter that you get from his website. I printed all of them off and used those to take notes on. Only 3 easy homework assignments. Attend class and take notes so you don't fall asleep.

Easiest class I have ever taken. I never went to class and still pulling a good grade. He posts his lectures online and everything on tests comes off there. Make sure you know when the few assignments he gives are due and you should be fine.

Easiest class ever! You don't have to go to the class but he does assign 3 homework problems that are easy but you will want to turn them in. Sometimes he will state things that aren't in the slide show or the lecture notes online. Overall easy class.

Does not use any textbook. You will want to print off the notes on his website (www.astro1010-lee.com) and fill out and add information as you go. He takes all his test questions from the notes and slide show. He goes on a lot of tangents and many fell asleep. Super smart, super interesting class. Recommend it!

EASIEST class I have EVER taken. You dont even have to go to class, he posts all of the lectures on his website. I only went to class on test days. His tests are verbatim from the lecture notes (which he puts online). You have 3 homework assignments that are due on the first 3 test days.. so make sure you turn those in and you'll get an A.

HIGHLY recommended! Attendance is not mandatory; he gives short in class quizzes for easy points. All lectures are posted online. He is VERY old so he sidetracks a lot, but he KNOWS his stuff and wants you to succeed! 2-3 homework assignments, be sure to DO THEM! 1 essay and 3 quizzes. Easy class over all, if you do the work.

This class gets dull. He doesn't give a lot of guidance on assignments, but there are only 2 and they're pretty easy. In class pop quizzes to give credit to people that actually show up to class (hint, you can tell when the quizzes will be by looking at his powerpoints online). Tests are pretty easy if you study. Easy pass. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!

Prof. Lee was an easy class. You do have to study for the test, but it is exactly from his powerpoints which he posts online. It is very easy to fall asleep in his class, because he talks very quiet so it is hard to hear. If you want an easy A and your good at tests this is the class for you. No textbook

let's be clear, it wasn't that bad. But. I am pre-med. and it impossilble to know what your grade is. He gives tests that are not based on science. He takes a sentence or concept from the notes and removes a word, but usually not the science word, which makes his tests impossible. If you're really passionate about astronomy you won't like this one

Professor Lee is really old, but he is so passionate about astronomy which is helpful in learning the material. It's a fairly easy class, besides the approximately 6 pop quizzes sprinkled through the semester (which are really simple) you don't have to show up for class. Just read the slides online and show up for the tests.

Although class was early morning and hard to stay awake, class was very informative. Professor Lee also uses humor to help you understand the material.

Prof. Lee is pretty old and has a funny sense of humor but unfortunately very boring lectures (I think he's actually retiring). He knows a ton about astronomy, but only uses PowerPoints for each day of class. You have three tests and two assignments, with some in-class surveys. Easy class to get a good grade, but bad if you want to learn astronomy.
