Comment:

Extremely nice prof who knows what he is talking about but not an organized or interesting class. I was excited because I have an interest in astronomy but the class is completely dull and a bit of a downer. The assignment are tedious and do not promote learning at all. The testing is adequate if you have time to read the entire textbook.

Comment:

As an arts student with terrible math skills trying to fit in with honors physics students, professor Tindall did an awesome job helping me out and explaining things in ways that were alternative to the textbook. Yes, he may not be the young hot-shot that buffs himself as the most contemporary astro-physicist, but he's a great professor.

Comment:

You can tell he loves the material, and it is boring sometimes, but this class was definitely really cool. He made the tests SO EASY, you get a cheat sheet for every one, so theres no way to NOT get a good mark. He takes test material right out of the book and only does more challenging math on assignments, which he will help you do if you ask.

David Tindall is a very nice prof and tries to help but I feel that this course - 2451 - is way beneath what he knows

HORRIBLE!! run away, NOW! Worst prof and class ever. I thought it would be really interesting but I was wrong. I never thought it was possible to make something so boring.

Comment:

This class was brutal! The tests were so unrelated to the lectures and the assignments were all math. He didn't give examples, and classes were a waste of time. He was good at answering his email, but spent way too much time talking about his e-mail list in class too and meetings.

Comment:

I was really excited to take this course but it didn't live up to my hopes. The prof is obviously interested in what he's doing but he doesn't succeed in making lectures interesting at all. Those who attend usually sleep. And the tests are not related to lecture material.

Comment:

His tests are brutal! There is no point even going to class, he just picks the most obscure facts from the book and makes a test out of them.

Comment:

"For the question J^j, to find the cost is like to find the dampning of the water waves or in an engine oscillating motion." To sum things up, he is rarely on track with what he is doing
