Comment:
i LOVE Jerry. He's such a great dude. He has a very dry sense of humor that definitely goes under appreciated. I go to his classes for a fun time to be honest, since there's no real use in taking notes- he kind of goes through slides fast. He's talked about his cat, showed us videos of a panda eating bamboo, and loves squirrels. TAKE HIM :D

He's honestly a very smart professor, but is very dull and monotonic. Taking the 7-9:40pm class was honestly a horrible decision, as it is very easy to fall asleep while listening to his lectures. Astronomy is a very interesting subject, and he lacks the enthusiasm to teach it.

He's not the most interesting lecturer ever but he throws in some jokes here and there. He tries. The tests are hard as hell, you have to attend every call and actually listen and do the textbook reading if you want to pass. The homework is easily points though and it isn't that much. He's.. eh.

Comment:
Tests are pretty hard but he grades on a curve. Do the study guides/practice tests because he sometimes uses practice questions on the actual test. He does take attendance about half the time so try to show up. If you have trouble sitting through lectures I wouldn't recommend this class because lectures are LONG and very dull.

He is the most boring teacher I've ever had the misfortune of picking. He just reads off his lecture slides. DO NOT take him.

He was very nice but very boring!!! Basically had to teach myself using the book. But he curves almost every test. I would definitely not take him again.

I thought he was funny! no one ever laughs at his joke though ): he is well-meaning and cares for his students. he's a genuinely sweet professor. lectures are dry, but he provides all the material you need for the test. i personally enjoyed class but many others disagree. sign in sheet at end of class, curves tests, easy class

He's a great professor. Very knowledgeable in the field and knows what he's talking about if you truly listen. You have to be interested in the subject. If not, make sure you go to office hours, and do the homework and read the textbooks cause the lectures aren't easy to stay attentive to. He's a reasonable grader and means well. Take him!!!

Tests are hard, study guides and sample tests are not helpful. Mumbles through every lecture, and talks at you. The book is more interesting than his lectures.

Knows the subject really well and seems like he's a cool guy but he's incredibly boring!!!! Curve is good though. If you get a C on tests you'll get at least a B in the class :)

This guy is probably the smartest guy I have ever met. He is currently apart of the Kepler spacecraft telescope mission Nasa is doing to find habitable planets. No homework which is a plus. Mid terms are hard and you will think you will C the course but end up w/ a B, B+ or A- because he curves. Tests are KINDA unpredictable, but i learned so much!

He sucks!! Mumbles through every lecture and never gives you an opportunity to ask a question. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS! if you got stuck with it like I did, make sure to sit close so you can actually learn something.

Don't take this class. It's extremely boring because the teacher has absolutely no enthusiasm about anything.. even when he talked about doing work with NASA. The quizzes are terrible and though they're made by the company who produced the book it's virtually impossible to find the answers. I highly recommend getting a different teacher.

the class would be interesting if the professor showed more interest in what he was doing. on random days he would pass out attendance sheets so i guess attending class is mandatory. hes extremely monotone so you are tempted to not attend. besides that his online quizes are absurd. i would def not take this class again, or atleast with this teacher

You can tell he really knows his stuff, he would be great lecturing other astronomers, but not college students. His class can be rough to stay awake in, but he can be witty and make some funny remarks.

VERYYY boring/hard class! You will be either tempted to ditch or just fall asleep. Very dry lectures and boring material. BY FAR the worst class ive taken at SDSU. only positive is theres a curve.. but the online quizzes are ridiculous and tests are REALLY hard also so study!! I would definitely recommend another professor

This class is a sure cure for insomnia. About 10 minutes in- I wanted a meteorite to crash into the classroom so that we wouldn't have to endure it any longer.

INCREDIBLY mediocre. Does not show his passion for what he teaches and doesn't engage the students. He talks, you sit. You won't learn in this class, you'll memorize and forget.
