Applegate, James
[ASTR 1403] Earth, Moon, and Planets

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

If you want to learn about how to drop projectiles from tops of buildings onto Columbia College Deans' heads, this is the class for you. In the 75 minutes of this class, there is about 25 minutes of lecture, and 50 minutes of stories about how he subverts authority or humorous anecdotes (particularly humorous to him). I think the man just likes to hear himself speak.

Workload:

no work. The first third of the semester is no math, just fact based, then the rest is a bit of math and fact. Two exams and a final.
