Yes, this is a hard class with difficult content. But it is worth it! If you want succeed in the class you need to commit a lot of time and effort each week to do the homework and make sure you understand the content. It is definitely a grind. With that being said, the material is very interesting, especially in the second half of the course when Fourier is introduced. Prof. Glickman is very kind, understanding, and willing to spend extra time on things if you are confused. Her lectures move very quickly and are note taking heavy, but they are clear and engaging. The course consists of 2 midterms, a final, and 5 big problem sets. There are also graded practice homeworks due once or twice each week. To succeed in the course, I highly recommend doing problem sets with friends, going to TA and office hours. Like I said before, it's a lot of work... but it is worth it and incredibly rewarding. I would absolutely take the course with Prof. Glickman again. Good luck soldier.

I thought astro was a cool class, definitely on the easier side for a physics elective but still not super easy by any means. The exams were tough but fair, and Prof. Glikman graded reasonably. Problem set difficulty varied dramatically from week to week, so you never really knew what to expect. The coding projects were frustrating but it was cool to see the lecture concepts in action. Glikman is definitely very passionate about the material and makes it interesting!

Pretty fun class, definitely take it if you have an interest in Cosmology or Astronomy or planning to pursue a career later down the line. Just don't miss classes and try to understand what's going on in the board than copying everything you see, you'll thank me later :) Otherwise you'll end up with 200 page of math not knowing whatever the heck it all means. Quality over quantity matters a lot here.
