Reviews of professor Scott Chapman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The first half of the course was difficult since Prof Chapman lives in Victoria and had to deliver remote lectures half the time. The lectures were dull at times and he wasn't accessible outside of class. However, halfway through the course we gave him feedback on what wasn't working and he changed almost everything for the better. Very caring prof

Scott is a nice person and is very enthusiastic about his research, but seemed to have been pushed into this teaching job unwillingly. Sometimes seemed like he did not know what is going on. When explaining different types of stars he said "Red Giants are ............ big". Does not exactly display high level knowledge. Besides the labs, very easy.

If you have Scott Chapman as your professor, the class may be super easy, but it's because the material he teaches isn't challenging. A good portion of what he taught in class was taught in lower-level astronomy courses. None of the assignments/midterms required use of calculus. I genuinely feel a bit screwed for my upper-year astronomy courses ...
