Don't let all the mean reviews sway you. If you attend the lectures & pay attention/take notes, you should be fine. I bought the textbook & didn't use it. Have to study for the tests but that's normal. She is very experienced & knowledgeable. Super cool class if you like space. Literally just don't be lazy & you will be fine lol

Comment:
Prof Leighly is a really nice person BUT this class is very difficult in that you won't understand what you are memorizing but in order to do well on tests you must memorize all material. One test, homework and discussion grade are dropped. TA made a joke that the class should be called Astrophysics instead of Astronomy because of difficulty.

Dr. Leighly is a great person, but not so much a professor. Regardless, you'll have to commit to studying more than required to understand the material. It''ll help you on the tests.

She is very knowledgeable and a very interesting woman--she's actually an acclaimed astronomer. However, she believes herself to be above helping with homework questions. She'll delegate those to her TAs or suggest a tutor.

Comment:
She is a very interesting lady...but not a really great professor. Thank goodness she usually puts her notes online because she flies through the presentations. Don't get me wrong she is passionate about teaching, but she rambles and babbles alot it can be confusing. Write down what she takes time to elaborate on and whatever she has on the board.

Has horrible handwriting. If you go to class every day and take the notes she puts up for you and study for about 1hr-2hr for each exam, you can easily get an A in this class

Comment:
she is no help, she doesn't give any formulas for the homeworks that might be useful, she tells students to get help from tutors and when i went to get some help from her, she told me to just read that book, instead of looking at what i did, and helping me to see where i went wrong at

HORRIBLE teacher. Very unclear in her lectures, very hard to pay attention. Tests are not to bad but require alot of studying. She does drop a few grades. She ends up curving at the end as well. But u have to be ready to work

Test are pretty easy but sometimes you can't understand what she is saying. Some test questions come straight from the homework.
