Class wasn't my cup of tea, but the professor was nice and had a fair grading scale. Little bit difficult to keep track of grades since he didn't use canvas.

Comment:

Professor Tiede was an amazing professor. His lectures left me amazed at points. There is no homework throughout this class however, there are random classroom activities and exams that account for your overall grade. The exams are quite difficult, unless you pay attention throughout lectures and study prior to taking them.

Comment:

Glenn is wonderful, you can tell he is passionate about Astronomy. This class is lecture heavy and challenging, the notes are online however I recommend showing up because he goes into detail. The downside to this class is the only grades are in-class assignments, stargaze and 3 exams.

Glenn is a wonderful guy and professor. He really wants his students to succeed and he enjoys teaching Astronomy. He loves his job and you can truly tell. The course is difficult and the content is heavy but Dr. Tiede does his best to explain it and always makes himself available if you need him. I definitely recommend getting the book and reading!

Comment:

He is very knowledgeable but explains things very fast in his lectures. It would be helpful if he broke things down more. You need to pay attention in class and try not missing class often because it's easy to fall behind. He posts all the power points he lectures in class which is REALLY helpful. Online quizzes and homework helps your grade.

Comment:

Extremely enthusiastic about what he teaches,but the layout of the class is difficult. He doesnt post grades to canvas which leaves many students in the dark. Gives practice quizzes but most of the practice material isnt on exams. Only grades by 3 lecture based exams. Despite attending classes, taking notes, and getting extra help, I still failed

Attendance - once a week by pop quiz. Only grades on these and three exams but if you pay attention and study it was not bad

Comment:

He's really nice and I like him a lot as a person but his way of teaching just didn't click to me. It was really disappointing because I feel like I could've done way better if I just learned the way he taught. Also, if he says "You don't have to memorize these equations." You DEFINITELY need to memorize them.

Comment:

Worst class Ive ever taken by far. He does not upload grades in canvas, which is utterly absurd. He goes way too fast when teaching the lecture. He expects you to know every single thing he tells you,as he believes youll be a real life astronomer such as he is. Does not give information about star gazing at all. Worst professor Ive ever had.

Comment:

Tiede has worked for NASA so he really knows what he is talking about and he is very knowledgeable. In class quizes are important but he lets you work with others around you. If you follow the study guide and take notes in class most days it is an easy B

Comment:

Tiede is an actual astronomer so he knows his material really well. He expects everyone else to know too. His exams are hard, but if you study the study guide and the notes you'll be fine. If you miss a day you'll be really behind.

Comment:

Glenn's class is large and boring. Attendance isn't taken, but there are random days where he has activities (3 questions) sometimes based on that day's lecture or the previous class'. Tests are difficult but if you do the study guide you'll be fine.

Dr. Tiede is a great professor. He grades mostly from tests and some participation. If you show up to class and pay attention you should get an A.

Comment:

Glenn is extremely passionate about this subject which is good and bad. Meaning he's extremely knowledgable on the subject but he tends to get caught up in the passion instead of getting through the material. The tests are difficult as well, make sure you actually do the HW he puts on canvas, those help a lot even though they aren't graded.

Dr. Tiede is a very clever, very engaging lecturer who is very passionate about the subject. There're several in class mini pop-quizzes as well as three exams, so turning up to class is very important. As long as you pay attention, take notes, and know how to get help when you need it you'll be sure to pass fine!

Comment:

Difficult class because Dr. Tiede is incredibly smart and thinks everyone has the knowledge he does. Focuses too much on math and physics instead of stars and actual interesting space concepts. Incredibly friendly guy who is always willing to help students however he can
