Comment:
Professor Herter is a very kind-hearted man. Posts slides online a day before lecture. Gives two opportunities for extra credit (course eval. and presentation). Some lectures can get kind of dense but he makes sure to recap a bit each lecture.

Comment:
I came into this class really excited to learn about astronomy but I walked out feeling disappointed. This course is pretty dry with some interesting topics towards the end of the semester. Professor Herter's prelims and final are not hard as long as you do the practice tests and memorize stuff from lecture slides. Easy class but very very dry.

Comment:
He basically reads off the slides, and I find the lectures pretty useless as all the slide are online. The discussions are a lot more helpful. He's the kind of professor you want to like, and he tries to keep things interesting with demos and things, but he goes off on a lot of boring tangents and gives too many pointless examples and slideshows.

Comment:
If I could describe Terry Herter in one word, it would be bouncy. This man bounces up and down on his toes like a pogo stick and is very perky/bubbly/weird/funny. Class is more organized than ASTR 102 and therefore easier. Not necessary to even open the book; all you need is in the lecture slides.

There is not tons of chem and physics, that's a lie. It's a great class, you learn a ton, and it's relatively easy. Herter is great, funny, hilarious, nerdy, and willing to help. Take the lab--it's easy and = extra points. Highly recommened.

Professor Herter is effing hilarious; he uses several demonstrations that are so wild you can't help but laugh at them. He's very unassuming and willing to help anyone.

Comment:
Class was not what I expected--there is tons of physics and chemistry. Not a class for non-science types. However, Herter is very nice and he really tries to make class interesting with videos and stories and performances (he stood on top of a ladder once and jumped all the way down to illustrate a concept once).

This class sucked. The only good thing was that even though attendance was taken every day, I could sleep through the lecture (because all the lecture notes are online) and then just wake up for the attendance quiz and go right back to sleep.

Makes class interesting (kind of tailed off at the end of the semester, though). Grading is pretty easy. In class questions are attendance points. Just know the practice exams (go to review sessions for the answers) and you'll be fine. He's a cool guy.

Herter is really cool. He really enjoys teaching undergrads and it shows. This class is not entirely easy, but he makes it seem that way. His online notes are a big help and if you study you'll do well. It's also FUN! Herter's jokes are cool too.

Herter is truly an eccentric character. His "jokes" and in-class demonstrations are definitely something to behold. If you have to be hungover and in class, this is definitely the one to be in. If you study and do the practice exams you'll be to

Excellent professor. He makes astronomy really cool. His in-class experiments make you want to go and enjoy his class. Powerpoint presentations and on-line notes are great. He is nice and funny too. Study and you'll definitely do well.
