Comment:

Joke of a course, it was too easy. All quizzes and the two midterms were open-book, and everything was multiple choice. The exam is half multiple choice, and the rest is fill in the blanks and short answer. The course is also actually really interesting if you're into astronomy, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a first-year bird course.

Comment:

Professor Nicol was extremely accessible, responding to emails within hours and answering phone calls as well. Tests were relatively easy as long as basis of material was understood. With daunting and complicated content, Nicol did her best to provide answers and illustrations to difficult questions, and provided an overall great online course.

Comment:

My favourite professor this semester. If all professors were like this, there would be a lot more people taking physics. Clear, organized, entertaining and very, very helpful. She shows us things from first principals and teaches us how to check our answers. I love this class! Not because of the material, but because of the way it is taught.

Amazing Prof! One of the best in the whole department. She is clear and logical and organised... she teaches you ways to check your answers... makes you feel like you no longer need the back of a text book to know if you're doing things right! Her class is just too wonderful... if only she could teach all our courses...
