Fall 2024 - I genuinely loved the lectures and Professor Shapley. She is engaging and clearly passionate about her field. On the negative, she consistently went over time, which is one thing, but she would get upset when people left at the end of scheduled class time, which is unfair as students may have other courses directly after. Additionally, the tests were very difficult and often consisted of very minor details which may only come up in class once and were not on the study guides (ie asking for the temperature of the layers of the sun).

Winter 2024 - Shapley really cares about the learning of her students. It shows through in her passion and easy accessibility. Just this past week our TA could not make it to discussion so Shapley ran it herself. I absolutely love Shapley, having taken Astro 3 with her in the past, and I took this class specifically because I knew she was the professor. Love love love love!
