James Buckley

Buckley is a pretty awesome professor, he really knows his stuff. The class itself is a bit tricky for a 300-level course. If you can bear with the math, you'll learn about some pretty interesting and relevant topics. Overall the course was graded fairly. Buckley also did a good job of keeping the class engaged by making jokes.

Truly an amazing dude - funny, brilliant, and really creates a community within the classroom the really makes you wanna learn. Unfortunately, he makes it a point to include very challenging math in assignment (grad level stuff). HW becomes incredibly hard very quickly, and tests are consistently tough, including the final.

The homework and exams aren't really related to astrophysics, it's mostly just math and quantum. Good class if that's what you're looking for, but don't take it if you want to learn about space.
