Very good professor! His lecture is REALLY interesting, and he cares about his students. Have any question? just ask him. Be sure to attend class and read his notes, almost all of the test question come from his notes. If your answer is really good, he will give you extra mark.

Professor is very nice and care students but the contents are absurd (Complicated Universe is trying to be shown within one semester) and test questions are enormous within limited time All in all, you will not even expect where does the questions come from d(^_^o)

Comment:

The reports were a little annoying and time consuming to do. However, most of the assignments were very reasonable. The midterm was right from the notes and pretty straight forward and so was the exam. The prof is nice and articulate. Go for it.

Comment:

I took the radio astronomy course with Professor Bartel and I have to say he is one of the best profs I've ever had! The course is very math heavy but if you do the assignments, ask questions in class, and listen to his lectures, you will be okay. He makes the material so interesting! You'll definitely learn something. Absolutely recommend Bartel!

Comment:

The best professor I have had at York. He is so passionate about his work and extremely engaging. One of the only classes that I found time flew by during lectures. I would highly recommend rearranging your schedule to take his class. If you go to class, and read his notes, you will do well. He often reuses his quiz questions on the midterm & final

Comment:

One of the best profs I have had at yorku. He made it a goal to connect with every student and help them. He is just so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he makes you want to learn more. The material was quite difficult and at times he went through it quickly, but he made you study it through his pop quizzes. Yorku is very lucky to have him.

One of my favourite profs! He is such a great teacher and really makes this subject interesting. He seems to show a lot of passion for astronomy. He is quite helpful as well and it's very important that you attend his classes (10% was participation marks when I was in class). Overall, great prof.

He's an awesome prof, as long as you go to class do the work you'll get an A. Most of all in class he even gives hints as to what questions will be on exams. Oh and you can e-mail him asking him questions and he'll help you, or take it up for the whole class. He's really good, i enjoyed his class.

Comment:

I love Professor Bartel. I thought he was such an interesting prof. He had a tendency to focus a bit on astrophysics which is something that I've seen a lot of people did not enjoy, but I personally loved it. He is a very nice guy, funny at random times. Very approachable.

Comment:

A genuine nice guy, he didn't even get mad when some idiot was shining a laser in his eyes. Hahah that was gold. A 1st year breadth required course is hard to teach and his knowhow is so above it that he comes off as boring, but props to him, I give him a thumbs up.
