I have had Dr. Reid for astronomy before, but for planetary 2E03 . He is a really engaging prof. He really knows his stuff and has many interesting things to share. He sometimes can throw a bit of a curve ball with assignments, but they are always fair, an usually interesting.
As for 1F03, I don't recall the midterm specifically, but the class was mostly assignment based, and there was a final project, where they asked you to either research an astronomical phenomena, or to actually use some of the telescope time they provided and go and look at things. The course may have changed some in the 3 years since I've taken it though.
I would definitely recommend it as an elective, especially if you have any interest in astronomy at all. It was fun, and it's also a great chance to be exposed to the other activities that Mac does in relation to astronomy.
