Comment:
Biggest tip would be to attend lecture. He covers key ideas and people in lecture that help you understand the material. My biggest tip would be to attend lecture. However, if you do not end up attending lecture, homework assignments are fairly easy to complete before class and provide a guideline for what may be on a midterm.

His lectures are interesting and he adds in a good amount of humor. Only take the class if you are interested in the Solar System. Good amount of homework. Overall, he is a pretty good teacher and a likable guy.

People often sign up thinking it will be an easy A. Relative to other classes here its easy but you cant get by on simply going to class. Just a little solid bit of effort is required. He tries his best to make it as interesting as possible.

Comment:
I don't think he cares at all about his students. Students don't care at all either, so easy to dominate the curve and get an A. Just pay attention in class because tons of stuff on the tests are not in the textbook.

Rushes through the few math parts there are; thinks he's clever. yells at the TA about slides...I'm not really a fan, but it's an easy science credit.

Comment:
Very funny and engaing teacher. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to enjoy teaching students so much as just hearing his own voice. In help sessions, he is often curt and does not go the extra mile to help students. That said though, if you are willing to study and attend class, the class is good.
