Comment:

Fairly easy class. Sometimes puts questions on test that we weren't supposed to study. No point in taking notes. He rambles a lot and goes through the power points too fast to write anything down. A plus is that he's nice. Very helpful if you ask questions during test. Take home quizzes nearly impossible. Easy hw that gets full cred if handed in.

He's really energetic, easy-going an humorous. Some of the material can be kind of dry, but he does everything possible to keep class fun and interesting. He's a great guy who is very approachable. It would be nice if he did respond to emails.

Comment:

This guy has a lot of energy but his class is soooo long which makes it boring. most of the quizzes are take-home and all the answers can be found from tests online. if you study this class will be easy. if you dont study you will definitely fail. he doesn't get back to you if you email him for help

Comment:

His class wasn't very interesting or memorable (which is amazing since I have a high interest in astronomy), but it was an easy grade and he was a nice person. I do agree with others, though, he did tended to be unorganized. He also had this annoying tendency to compare you to elementary school students, but otherwise, he's cool.

If you suck up to him, he'll like you. Otherwise, complete jerk. SOOOOO unorganized. Hes really dumb. no really. I did get a b+. It is an easy letter grade, but that's because of his stupidity. LOOK FOR ERRORS THAT HE MAKES ON TESTS!HE MAKES TONS OF ERRORS, SO CHECK HIS WORK. Complete moron, but easy grade..

Takacs is an easy-going teacher, but sometimes the class can get out of hand because students take advantage of this. Study those constellation charts for several days and take a look at the online quizzes if you want to do well!

Comment:

At first, I didn't care for this class because of his fast pace but then he slowed down. If you pay attention and do your work, then you should be fine. Tackas is a very nice professor. The only students that seem do poorly are those that constantly skip class. Half of the test questions come from online tutorials plus there are curves.

I love Mr. Takacs! I had him when he taught in Emmaus High. it is the same course! He won't be teaching at Emmaus High much longer, he will only be teaching at PSU and KU. Highly advise taking his class, you will regret it if you don't!
