Comment:

Midterms are 9 mc questions; 3 marks each, 2 for the work, 1 for the answer, 0 marks if the work wasn't good enough for him. All answers are same except for sig digs or the wrong answer from forgetting to factor something in Saw him in office hours:"Its not my job to teach you, go find a ta in the resource center". go pay for S.O.S. to pass

If there is one class you DON'T want to cram for, it's this one. The course consists of two pretty brutal midterms plus a fair final. Much effort needed to get a decent grade!

Comment:

Terrible, terrible professor. Made my first semester of university a nightmare. Going to class was useless as I learned nothing from him nor the super easy examples he gave. He was also very unapproachable and didn't even show me where I went wrong on the first midterm. I haven't gone to see him since. I'm happy I won't have to deal with him again.

Tough teacher. His midterms were very tough, but the final was not as tough. You need to study and learn from the internet because he uses complex methods of finding out something.

Comment:

Attendance in class not necessary, just study the slides he posts up and show up for quizzes (he'll post it up when). Thought this was an easy elective but was not. Needs a lot of time to study, basically memorize the slides.

Comment:

I'm normally an B+/A- student and quickly found that my normal study habits wouldn't work for this class. I attended every class, did all the readings, studied twice as much as I normally do...and still passed with just a D! Very hard teacher. Avoid if you can! He taught me that 100-level courses are some of the hardest you may ever take!

You'll never get a better prof than him! I couldn't wait till his class would start. He explains stuff so nicely that you could sit there for hours and listen! If you go in to review your tests, he will sit down with you 1 on 1 and see where you went wrong and help you do better next time. His M/C questions are pretty tricky though! AWESOME Prof!!!

Great prof, really nice and knows his stuff. All class is power point so you don't need to go to class, but his lectures are interesting and worth it. You do need to study to get a good grade in the course.

The astronomy class itself is quite interesting, but getting a good grade in this class is hard. Dr. Reddish is a nice guy and knows his stuff but his testing is quite difficult.

Comment:

One of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Those who complain there's too much math are off the mark. He showed at most 5 equations and/or formulas the entire semester, and we were never required to actually work with them on exams.

He didn't seem to be very familiar with the material that he was teaching.
