Jeff Hester is one of the Great Professors ! Take his class you will actually learn something. But you do have to study. He works hard and he expects his students to do the same.

Comment:
He is very clear and interesting. He usually takes examples from real life, which most people are familiar with, and uses those to illustrate concepts.

Comment:
Whether you have a prior backround in astronomy or not, he'll explain the concept in a way that makes sense. Very helpful outside of class. Be sure to study the study guide. One of the best professors I've had at ASU. I'd definately take another class from him!

Professor Hester knows his stuff... he wrote the book. Literally. Luckily he's great at explaining concepts in a way so that someone with no past knowledge in the field can understand. I loved him-one of my favorite professors at ASU.

Comment:
He has a way of making giant lecture classes seem small and more personal. You can ask any question in class and he'll try to explain it. Tests are rough; studying what he tells you to study still won't help much, but grades are curved. You can tell he really enjoys teaching & his subject. It's nice to learn from someone so accomplished and real.

Comment:
I love this guy. He knows his material, his lectures are amazing, and the guy can tell one heck of a joke over a pint of beer. I believe that some have mistaken his genuine joy for teach for smugness. I did not get that from him at all. He is an amazing professor, extremely helpful, and an all around great guy. Don't be afraid to take this class!!!

Yeah, the tests are hard, but he curves them. He answers questions throughly, and takes the time to explain things outside of class too. He does call on random people, but it's not that big of a deal. I enjoyed this class.

Comment:
OMG i hated this class, his lectures are boring and his test are super hard and long, oh and he's full of himself not to mention had to buy an over-priced book just cuz he co-wrote it or something, i dropped that class as soon as possible, not worth the time.

Comment:
I read all the other comments before I took the class and was worried about taking it. But honestly I don't see where they got them- he is a very interesting teacher and always sticks to the subject. He always thoroughly answered every question. Do the homework/readng (there isn't too much of it) and you will do fine. DOES call on random people tho

Comment:
after sitting in his class for 6 weeks, wondering why i had so much loathing towards him, i realized: it's his self-satisfied smugness. he WANTS you to answer incorrectly so he can take pride in knowing better. yeah he explains... excessively. it doesn't take an hour and 15 minutes to explain that F=ma. i already took high school physics, thanks.

I think this guy is the sh*t. I love his class. every question anyone had, he took the time to thoroughly explain it and made sure everyone understood before going on. he is very smart and knows the material he teaches (he was a co-writer of the textbook). another comment said the textbook was overpriced-- but really, what textbooks aren't? cmon.

Who would say nice things about this guy? Seriously? His tests don't look anthing like his lectures, he makes you buy a severely overpriced textbook (that he happens to have edited), and every other class had an inane political rant. If you have another option, take it!
