Dr. Lacy is awesome! I loved his demonstrations, especially when he sucked helium out of a balloon and sang to us. Definitely take his class.

Comment:

Great guy! Kind of shy, I think. Loves astronomy. Makes astronomy jokes throughout the class, most of which the class doesn't get. The tests are easy if you go over the old tests on the class website. The lecture can be boring sometimes, but come every day and you'll get a good grade.

Comment:

Very interesting material, but class can get boring at times. Amusing teacher. He lets out early some days. Warning: tests will be difficult, but only if you don't study/memorize the old tests, which are available on his website. As long as you study the old tests, you will do fine. You won't even need to read the book, though it is interesting.

GREAT teacher. I had to take one final honors science, and I would have taken this one three times if I could have. Wonderful, caring, and funny teacher.

Very easy class. Tests are little to no trouble. Uses ample pictures and "demos" to convey the meaning of the lesson. Not very accessible, but the class doesn't require him to be. If you want an easy honors course, take this class!

Great website, sweetest guy you'll ever meet at the UofA, just memorize the old tests and you'll be golden. He does neat experiments and gives you exused absences for anything as long as you let him know before class. Really, take his class!

Comment:

Was much harder than an intro class should be, even honors. Required a 12-pg paper! We didn't even get to choose the topic. Also, group work not a plus. Lacy is enthusiastic in a goofy kind of way.

Extremely nice, its easy to ask questions, very enthusiastic, if you think this class is boring there is nothing you can take that would be more interesting - try sitting through geology instead, :). One of the best classes ever.

Great teacher! Very enthusiastic and really funny. It seems like he really wants his students to do good and get As. Would recommend him to anyone! Tests get progressively harder, but still not too bad.
