Professor Margot was awesome. He was really enthusiastic and described what was going on in lecture in an organized way. He really cared that the students understood what he was talking about, and he's very approachable. ESS 3 was a little difficult, but just pay attention to what he talks about in lecture, because some random little things he talks about will be on the test. Make sure you know a good amount of bio & chem stuff, and pay attention to what the questions on the test are asking because they can be kind of tricky. I got a perfect score on the first midterm and I didn't do so well on the second midterm and final, and I got a B. If Dan is your TA this year, be prepared to have a couple pop quizzes and some projects that aren't hard, you just have to get creative with the concepts. I thought they were fun to write actually. Ask Dan questions because his discussion section is 30% of your grade.Overall, a very interesting class!

More interesting than the other professor.
Textbook is pointless.
Listen to his notes, and basically know science facts that he assumes you know. distances, ages etc.
I got a B, but only because i Re learned everything with my TA.

I was truly blessed to take Professor Margot for Astrobiology. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and is clearly very passionate about planetary physics/astronomy and the like. He always was able to answer student questions and had ample office hours for the class. When I talked to him he was friendly and welcoming, and very patient. His demonstrations were very applicable and taught the class a LOT about physics. What he taught in this class (which is a very easy GE geared towards north campus majors) helped me in my Physics 1 series classes. The best part was: he made it easy to understand and use.

I scored the mean on one midterm, and ranked in the top 15% for the other midterm and final. Somehow I pulled an A+, so I'm guessing his curve is a monster. I think he actually gave half the class an A of some form.

If you have the opportunity, take a class with Professor Margot.
