makes corny jokes but classes are pretty boring. do the homeworks and you'll be okay. gives partial credit on tests for writing anything relevant.

Comment:

HE'S AMAZING!! as long as you do the homework problems he assigns you will be fine!! his tests are kinda hard but you get a lot of points for just writing random things down. it's pretty much impossible to fail unless you just don't show up. I loved him!!

Comment:

Well, if you are a physics or an engineering major, and you want to learn something, DON´T take this professor. If you just want to pass the class without learning anything(wasting your money), then take him. I think his classes were meaningless because all he did was repeat what was on the textbook. He sucks at answering student´s questions.

Comment:

This so-called professor is the worst experience I had this far in my life! First of all that GEEK is not an astronomer but a engineer. I suppose that is not enough to teach astronomy. His projects are very confusing and his grading policy even worse. DO NOT LET HIM DESTROY YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE UNIVERSITY. He is very boring too.

Prof Ginsberg is a good professor. His class is interesting, although he gives A LOT of projects. I learned more then i thought i would. He is really nice and will help you with anything if you ask. His tests are right from the book, along with the quizzes

Comment:

Awesome professor! Hard to fail the class if you actually do the work. He is very helpful-all you need to do is ask. Tests were not that hard as long as you study. A lot of projects though. Observations are fun-only done if sky is clear. (Part of the class no matter who you take-it's ASTRONOMY!!!)

Comment:

He is a very sweet professor, he might have some quirks such as illegible hand writing and he is easily steered off topic but he will do anything to help your grade. He doesn't give lower grades for handing stuff in late, but there is about 5 projects and homeworks CH1-10 that are killers also a lot of obersvations if you dont have the time dont ta

He's awesome! Due dates do not apply in this class. He's very kind, understanding, willing to help anyone. The tests can be a little hard but he's willing ot go over everything beforehand. We even played a review game.
