I think that she is a good teacher but that the department pressures people to go into 109 too easily --like if you've taken any physics thing ever they don't put you in 108, but then they move through the course work as if everyone has already taken AP Physics and AP Physics C: Mechanics. A lot of people obviously have, but then it makes it really difficult for those who really don't have much experience because they already expect you to be familiar and understand all the topics/units.

Professor Brumback is awesome! She is very passionate about astronomy and is also accommodating; if you need extra help, it is easy to set up a meeting with her. This is a great introductory astronomy class and is approachable even if you haven't taken physics before. The workload is very manageable (one homework assignment every week, quizzes every other week, and lab every week) and the lectures are never boring. I feel like I have learned a lot and am glad I took this class.

The teacher was very enthusiastic about her field of work and had a lot to say. I don't plan on being a science major, and this was an exciting course. The one downside is that you have a 3-hour long lab each week, where you have a massive packet to fill out. Overall not a difficult class and really cool to learn about.
