Excellent professor, very helpful, friendly and approachable. He cares about his students and does his best to make sure everyone's on the same page and the material he goes over is very well explained. Would love to take him again if I had the chance.

He's very passionate about astronomy and will help nudge everyone in the right direction when the class isn't getting at least a 90% on clicker quizzes. Easy assignments and straight forward tests, would definitely recommend this class to everyone!!!

Very easy going and generally happy guy. Tries to teach in an upbeat manner. Material is not hard at all. Sometimes he is a bit unorganized. Wierdly I found he was better in AST101 than in AST201, but nonetheless is very passionate. I dont know anything about science, but he makes it easy to follow

not a great prof tbh. he is easy-going and lighthearted but he doesn't explain content very well and is not very engaging. Prof. Brian Gaensler is a much better prof out of the two.

Comment:

Prof Netterfield is one of the best professors Ive had so far in my first year of university! Hes so incredibly kind and easy-going, and during office hours, he gives off the aura that he genuinely cares for his students. His lectures are very upbeat and fun, filled with numerous easy clicker questions for an easy A.

The only class where I looked forward to attending. The content was interesting and he delivered it in an upbeat style. You can tell he really loves what he's doing. Definitely would take again.

Prof. Netterfield is my favourtite lecturer I've ever had at U of T. He's so genuinely kind and caring about his students, it's an honour to be in his class. He comes off as a little frazzled at times, but overall he's clear and easy to understand. Very funny!

If you're considering taking AST101 (and you seriously should be) with Prof. Netterfield, you'll like it alot. He explains concepts well, has an upbeat personality, tries to keep the class from being dead and was really passionate about teaching.

Comment:

I had professor Gansler for AST101 which is actually taught by two profs. Out of the two he is definitely better, his clicker questions are easier and often times more related to course matter. He is also far more approachable either in office hours or after class.

Netterfield is a cutie! So passionate about what he teaches, it's really great. There are clicker quizzes in both lecture and tutorial, so best not to miss class often, but lowest 2 quizzes are dropped. There are weekly assignments online, but if you listen in class they aren't a problem. Was a bird course but I'd take another class w/ Netterfield!

Made me enjoy astronomy. I took it because I needed a credit but I would absolutely take another course if him and Dr. Reid teach it. Lectures were easy to follow and he made the content understandable. I absolutely recommend everyone takes this!

Explains everything nice and clear, easy on arts students. LOVED the course. But be sure to show up on the lectures and tutorials, saves you a lot time to read. Test and exam are basically coming from the ppt slides and some of them are from the clicker quizs.

OK prof, but not great. Didn't take control of the class - there was always a constant hum of students taking in the room, which was distracting. Didn't explain complex theories well - wasn't until RayJay took over lectures that I actually started getting it! Super nice dude though, and seemingly passionate about his work :)

He is AWESOME!! He's the most loveable nerd ever. He is super funny, smart, and really makes an effort to explain things to make sure we all get it. His exams are easy, I was expecting and studied for much more challenging questions. He made the class super enjoyable.
