Interesting 1 Credit Course. Only required to go to class once a week and listen to him, other students or guest speakers for Pass/No Credit. Do a presentation or poster to get a grade for the course.

Wicked easy, not that boring. Nice guy. Tests are really easy. Required 15 minutes of studying to get a 95 on both tests so far.

TSS for 1 credit is an easy A, but not for 2. The tests have the most random jeopardy questions-like the names of the satelittes that were sent in orbit in 1992. I liked him though, and I thought the class was interesting and fun.

The tests have THEE most random questions at points. But he's VERY interested in the teaching and what he does and it emminates to the students...or at least to me.

I'm not sure if it was him or the subject matter, but I found it very hard to stay focused on his lectures. Also, the class includes lots of looking at the sky, which is hard with all the street lights on campus. Otherwise, you will learn things.

Tour of the Solar System is an excellent course. The topics are fascinating and Professor Whittet presents the material well. The lectures are fairly straight-forward and you feel like you are listening to a recording more than a person at times, but that doesn't make it boring. Take this course!

For this class, he had strict requirements about visiting the observatory. We had to go 5 times in the semester, and the reports are total worth half of your final grade. I went 11 times total, and it was only open 3 times of those 11 due to weather. He wouldn't give me a break, and I got a D.

took two classes from Whittet, great professor! Very helpful, and can teach material in a way that makes it accessible to non-physics majors. Very easy to approach with questions on course material. Seems to genuinely like teaching, Imagine that!

Awesome class. Very nice prof. He really appreciates people who take an interest in the subject matter, especially in a class where you don't really have to be interested to get a good grade. Take a class with him.

Tour of the solar system is an awesome class. Learned a lot of cool stuff. Tests are easy if you spend about an hour reviewing the lecture notes prior. Really fun course.
