Yeah I took astron 1f03 when dr. reid was teaching. He is now in UT st. george.
It seems like this course varies year to year but the material overall is pretty interesting if you ever wondered about the various fascinating mysteries about the cosmic universe from questions such as "why we have seasons" to "how the universe began"
You learn about things such as the life of a star and how astronomers study these things.
In my year, we got to do an astronomy project which involved mapping out the orbital period of Jupiter's 4 moons which was frustrating at times but also very fun cuz you got to look through a telescope and actually observe Jupiter in the night sky.
You should take this course out of interest only, there is math and physics involved but if you have interest in what you're learning, you won't find it hard.
5/5 on this course.
All it takes is curiosity
