Comment:

She doesn't teach you anything and then makes you take a quiz everyday before class that you know nothing about. All the time the questions are very tricky. This is a freshman class and our junior TAs can't even calculate the answers correctly. She expects more than she can ask for. The reason why I quit Physics

Comment:

Solar System Astronomy. EASY A. Not mandatory attendence. Just study her class notes (posted online) before the tests. Don't buy the book. She is very excited about the subject matter and interactive class participation. she checks attendence sporadically via electronic unscored quizzes during class (give "clicker" to a friend).

Her class is sooooooo easy. Anyone who gets lower than an A on the test is a real slacker, bc you dont even need to go to class. Tests have exact questions from lecture notes that she posts online. Kinda boring. Kinda funny if you like star wars. glavin!

Comment:

OMG, she is so fun. Her lectures are engaging and she knows her stuff. She gets very excited when talking, and can be hard to hear sometimes. If you want the full Britt experience, sit in the front, her facial expressions are so funny! She'll answer anything she can to the best of her ability.

britt is awesome! she has such a passion for the stuff she teaches, and she's incredibly nice as a person. people who get bored in her class probably just shouldn't be taking astronomy.

this class blows my mind every time i go in. sometimes it drags, but that's more a result of the subject matter and the things that need to be explained. she makes it interesting

Comment:

ummm. this class ain't so fun; but ain't so hard. she gives you basically a prelim that tells you exactly what she will put on the real test. her grading isn't that bad because the one test is thrown out in favor of two higher ones and the final is worth 20% of the grade. it's a real boring class!

Comment:

Brit is not a good lecturer by any stretch. She is obviously uncomfortable infront of a large group, so she talks very quickly and has sometimes illegible handwriting on the overhead. She makes alot of mistakes, so it can be hard to follow her. She is a nice person though.

Definetly a very boring class. Its not too hard if you get the notes online and study. Paying attention helps to. Its just that every one of her classes seems to drag on and on.

Comment:

Brit consistently came unprepared to lab, often made mistakes and undermined her own abilities causing me to lost almost all respect for her. In the end she did clarify some of the material, but I would not take her again for this class.

Boooorrring... I don't know which is harder, paying attention in this class or committing seppuku with a frisbee. A few more lectures with her and I would have tried the latter.
