Comment:
Literally the worst class ever. DO NOT TAKE! She is a really tough marker the only thing that saves your mark is the online quizzes. Her exams are hard. If you dont show up too class you won't get the notes needed-she scribbles on the board. Super rude during class- SHE WILL CALL YOU OUT. Its a hard course despite what the websites might say.

Comment:
Class was relatively easy, make sure to at the very least skim the readings, as they do pop up on the test! I found the assignments to be marked harshly but tests can definitely bring your mark up if you study. Very similar experience to NATS1570 Online (Exploring the Solar System).

Great prof- her lectures may be long, but she really helps reduce material needed for exams. Assignments were easy 90s. She added bonus in-class quizzes to help the averages of students. Very caring, very accommodating and very funny! Videos we watched in class were mostly interesting. Definitely taking this course again!

Comment:
Sweet lady when you talk to her one on one, but her tests are way too hard! I think with the amount of time and effort she puts in her lectures would only be appreciated by someone who is majoring in science. I think for a general education course her class was quite hard. The short answer part of her tests seemed to be the hardest..

Comment:
Her 3 assignments are easy & encourage critical thinking. However, her tests are ridiculously hard. I have never failed a test in my life before taking this course. Her test review is NOT enough to do well. Do the review and answer all the lecture questions after each lecture to be able to do well. Don't be surprised to see moot points on the test

Assignments are interesting and fairly easy and you have a lot of time to work on them. Her tests are very HEAVY, lots of material to know. However, she prepares you, she's always willing to help, answer questions and stays after class. She provides lecture reviews after every class and thats all and those are directly on the test. 3 tests 3 assig

Comment:
Kingsburgh is great. No readings. Her assignments encourage students to actually learn. Her tests are tough, but she helps students prepare. Some concepts are hard, but she simplifies them and helps non-science students follow. Success is tied to effort in her class - work hard and you can get an A or A+. Attend class, take good notes and study.

She's a very sweet, passionate prof. There is a lot of material she covers, and pretty quickly so be ready to take tons of notes. Exams are hard, but very straight forward. if you study, you will do fine. She puts up review questions every class which makes it easier to study when it comes times for exam.

Great prof! She made me like science and astronomy. Amazing lectures. Covers everything broadly and answers all questions. There are too many tests but if you study for them and do all your assignments carefully, good results are achievable. Definitely take her course. She's literally great!

i found that she was all over the place in lecture but its not bad since she types up class notes, assignments were super easy and tests were based on what she taught in lecture. i'm horrible at science but this was a easy course, go to class once in a while and just ASK if you dont understand something, she's super nice and will explain

her tests are very hard but the 3 assignments are ok.. she doesn't teach us too well, some of the material on tests were never talked about in class. her lectures are all over the place so it's very hard to study and understand things. bad choice taking this class.. causes me more stress than anything.

This course is really easy. The material is interesting and there is no textbook. yes the prof is a little boring and writes everything down and goes over it 2-3 times but that makes the course easy. there are 2-3 easy assignments. Go to every class and take notes.tests are straight from the notes she writes down on the board.no surprises. EASY A!

Teaches incredibly simplistic material and still feels the need to repeat herself three times over. Could cover so much more material if she didn't baby us.
