ACTUAL COURSE: Astro 5 SPRING 2015 I LOVE Prof. McLean so much. So so much. He's the nicest person ever, so enthusiastic about what he teachers, and entertaining and sweet. He really does want you to succeed. Exams are SO easy as long as you go over the powerpoints. Seriously. I got like a 96 on the midterm and a 98 on the final. His powerpoints are very detailed and informative, so go over those several times and you should be great. I still recommend going to lecture because it makes it easer to stick, and he's entertaining and enthusiastic. You have 1 midterm and a final, as well as weekly online quizzes on CCLE (pretty easy, no time limit, and you don't have to complete them in one sitting). Had Alec Vinson for a TA and I liked him. He's clear, straightforward, and reasonable. Knows his stuff. You just sit there and he goes over main points, sometimes shows a video. Sign-in sheet for attendance. Almost no math. The math was beyond basic and easy, so don't worry if you're not a math person. Scientific concepts are both super interesting and easy to grasp. I love this class and I love the professor. Definitely take it if you want a fascinating, easy GE. Selling the textbook for HALF of the original price, so $50 (instead of $96). Good condition, no highlighting. Email ************* if you want to buy it :) You also don't need any homework software or anything.
