Student Comments

“Astronomy C10 is an introductory course in astronomy without any prerequisites. This course is perfectly suitable for students from other fields than physics or other science majors, but students can also take this course as a preparation for upper courses in lieu of Astronomy 7 series. The course covers a large range of materials, from the solar system to cosmology, and the material is phenomenon based and not math heavy. There are several interesting labs and one selective field trip included.” – anonymous

“It is a relatively easy class, but taking it was a great decision. Filippenko really engages with his students and getting to discuss his work with him was extremely eye-opening.” – Jonathan Li, undergraduate applied mathematics
