I had Astrophysics with him. There were A LOT of assignments and quizzes and they are hard. Do all the homework and power point questions for tests. There was also a 3000 word research paper and video presentation. The only good thing was that it was interesting and I passed the class.

For astrophysics i am very serious do every single problem in the powerpoint and homework. If you even leave one you're going to have a hard time. The assignments are heavy and long. At the very least its an enjoyable subject. Good luck.

i took him for waves and astrophysics and i really like him! he is super sweet and understanding.. however his exams are on moodle, and his grading is sometimes ambiguous and hard to understand (his correction is not the same for everyone, like he'll take off marks on one exam but not for another which is weird) but ultimately he is super nice, and his astrophysics class is really interesting because he really likes the subject.

I had him for mechanics and honestly I hated the subject, but he was so sweet that it was bearable and I finished with a pretty good grade. Do all the sets he gives and practice continuously because they prepare you for well for the quizzes, midterm and final. If you have any questions, his door is always open to you and he is so nice and welcoming so don't be afraid to ask him for help. I would 100% take him again if I could.

Honestly astronomy was such an interesting class, but the workload is ridiculous.
