He is a sweetheart (reminds me of my grandpa). He makes the material quite interesting and if you study his notes its an easy A. Do the online quizzes (open book and a breeze) and you will get an A! Good class!

Awesome Professor! Very funny and knew what he was talking about. You could tell that this guy has had years of experience in the field and adds color to his lectures. Reading the book is a must, and good notes are also helpful. Check out his ties, they put a smile on my face.

Comment:
I took this course because of my XBOX 360 fanatic roomate, who insisted that it would be joke. We both ended up failing, and the Emotional scarring may fade away, but that big fat F on my transcript won't.

Oliver is a nice guy and very interested in what he does. His tests aren't too hard as long as you study. He takes a lot of the test questions from quizzes.

I'm a diehard science hater and Oliver COMPLETELY had me in awe. Wonderful, wonderful teacher. Not an easy class, but he makes the material so interesting. I found myself explaining the Earth's rotation to my roomates. Great guy, awesome suspenders! I dreaded this class and found it pretty enjoyable. He makes it fun, relatable and non-threatening.

the material was overwhelming at times and required a lot of memorization. lectures are overall interesting, but at times get very dry. I had no prior knowledge of astronomy and got a B+.

A really great guy. Material isn't easy. Most people don't think that astronomy has so much physics or math involved.

For a basic course, this class was not basic. It is filled with physics and the concepts are extremely difficult and unrelated to astronomy at all.
