This was a lab so the TA's did all of the lab grading but were very generous. Hugh graded the presentation as well as our 3D printing design. He was an awesome guy, gave off the cool Uncle vibe. He brought coffee and cookies to our presentations. Very reasonable and I felt really relaxed even when I was behind. Never felt overburdened with work

Awesome class!!!!! He is very helpful and the class is not that bad you just need to know how to use some equations (which they are given for every test). Weekly hw's are annoying but they count for 20% of the grade. Final is worth 50% of the grade!!!!! The curved was really helpful though.

O'Neil's class was straightforward and relatively easy. He's really passionate about astronomy and about teaching. Section is optional. Weekly homework, multiple choice midterm & final. The curve is really helpful.

It's cute how passionate he is about the subject! :)

Seems to be more interested in experiments than teaching what we need to know for exams (especially math/calculations). Very knowledgable about concepts and an overall nice guy. I wish this class had had a physics prerequisite so I would have been turned off from taking it.

Best professor I've had at UCSB! Great and interesting lectures, super helpful and straight forward exams. If you can take Phyics with O'NeiL
