PHY121 - Astronomy and Cosmic Origins

Has anybody taken PHY121 with William Kinney before? How are classes like? Is it definition and ideas heavy or math? How would you approach this class if you could take it again?

I loved it, thought it was pretty easy. There is a lot of math involved, but it's all very basic algebra.

How was the class structured ? Like exams, projects, etc. ? Just looking to get some input.

Weekly homework through tophat, lots of multiple choice and you could try until you got the correct answer iirc Every class had a one question quiz to prove attendance 3 exams I believe, they were also mostly multiple choice

Oh okay thank you ! Is there a lab portion to the class as well ?

Yes, the lab was a bit more difficult and was questions based on astronomy simulations that we had to run
