Pros: Very intelligent in the field of astronomy. Makes lectures somewhat interesting. Labs are very short, easy and a grade booster.
Cons: Exams are pretty tough and there is a lot of material to cover. TA's grade homework and exams very stingy, usually taking away halfs of points for the smallest mistakes or omissions.

I'm not a major, and I thought this class would be about fun astronomy stuff...but this is ALL math. Yuck. Don't take it for a gen ed unless you're very VERY interested in the subject. So, so boring to me.

I enjoyed this class but it was a lot of material to learn. If you go to class and take notes you should do well on the exams. The lab was pretty easy and helpful in learning the content.
