Review from a student who took AST 301
A horrid professor. He doesnt explain anything, gives really hard homework and tests and is just plain incompetent. This is just a physics class disguised as astronomy. Matter of fact, most of the homework and tests are based on math problems which he barely covers in lecture. The only way I passed this class was because one of the TAs gave us the answers to the homework every night before it was due in the "help sessions." Dont even bother taking this class.

Review from a student who took AST 301
I wish i hadn't signed up for this class. I could have satisfied my requirements just as easily by taking nutrition, but i thought this class would be fun, and we'd learn about constellations and planets and shit. Nope, it's all physics. I never even took physics in high school. It was awful. I ended up pass/failing it. Shapiro is excruciatingly boring in lecture, his notes are confusing, and he erases everything he scrawls before you can write it down. Homework (hard!) every week, and tests which are not that bad, but still difficult. His TA's are weird. A good alternative to sleeping pills, and a great way to wreck your GPA.
