His lectures dont't quite follow the readings, but they should at least get you interested enough to do them. He is an interesting guy with funny stage presence and truly loves the wonders of the universe.
The lectures in this class are pointless. However, it isn't a hard class. HW is easy and counts for a lot. I find the subject interesting so maybe that helps. The teacher is sort of wild but you can tell he's into what he's teaching.
Awesome guy. Fun class. He made some good comments. Here's a great picture of him http://www.in-cites.com/papers/DrRobertAntonucci.jpg
he was by far the worst teacher I have ever had, i wish i would have never taken this course. his midterm is easy but the final is stupid hard b/c he doesnt explain anything...thank God for the curve. His lectures are uninteresting and he is very disorganized... going to class was absolute hell for me. I highly suggest not taken him.
Antonucci is a real "space case." Very disorganized, constantly looking for his transparencies and trying to figure out how his computer works during lecture. Unless you're scientifically inept, the class is easy, but you'll probably get more out of a different teacher.

This was by far the hardest class for me. Im not a science geek tho. He's monotoned, but in a strange way-you know he's totally into asto stuff. His finals vary a little year by year. Most ppl get below a C on tests-thank god for curves

pretty boring lectures...talks to himself most of the time. Interesting material at times, but not very thorough in his explinations.
sounds like he went to look at the stars and never came back
In response to the previous comment, Antonucci much improved his teaching method since then, getting a lot of feedback from none other than Coleen the TA. Now students generally like him, even though they may still not do as well on exams. :P
He doesn't explain the material well. All he does is talk about stuff that never shows up in his stupid tests. I learned a lot more from his TA, Coleen, than from his lectures.
Loved the UFO and time travel lectures.
Teaches astro with a passion.
Very stupid multiple choice tests - you think you've missed 3, then you realize you got the class average: 20 out of 32. Furthermore, you could read the whole textbook and get a C. If there wasn't a huge curve, I'd be screwed.
Pretty easy class if you just show up or do some of the homework. Makes the dorkiest topic ever semi-tolerable. That's a plus in my book.
he gets side tracked easily and gives pop quiz's in the lecture hall. Not a super easy class, Antonucci is ok but freedman would be a better choice.
OK teacher, but Freedman is a CLEARER lecture. Anctonucci knows what he's saying, but he makes it tougher compared to ol' Freedman who actually wrote the textbook
Antonucci rocks. He is so passionate about the universe, he's a great teacher and a super friendly guy. Oh, and he looks like a **** chipmunk.
Antonucci is awful. I had him as a freshman, and never went to class because it didn't help me learn at all-if you take Astro 1, section is the only thing that matters. So unclear, everything was confusing.
Ski is awesome. So passionate about the universe. Kids would enjoy school if the people who taught them were more like Antonucci. Everyone should take a class with him.
