Reviews of professor Tommi Koskinen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Koskinen as a professor is not the worst. However, this course is extremely hard, and the PowerPoints he uses to present the material are terrible. When trying to study for quizzes/tests the PowerPoints in class are almost useless and are missing a lot of the information that are on the quizzes. Do not take this course.

Was looking for an Easy A class, maybe not the best choice but overall not too difficult and you can tell that he really cares about the material.

Very passionate about the class but he moves through the PowerPoint way too quickly, and I never had enough time to write it all down or even take a pic of the slides sometimes. Tests are very in depth, more so than he covers in class. I know people who dropped it part way into the semester. Doable, but I do not recommend.

This was one of the hardest classes you can take. The material, even if you study, is super hard to get a good understanding of. You have to learn so much material in a very short time. Everyone else I know in this class dropped it early on. Though I could do it, now Im going to fail.

This class is a very in-depth course into the world of astronomy, and if astronomy or space sciences aren't a part of your major you might reconsider re-taking this class - it isn't an easy gen-ed. Professor Koskinen is very knowledgeable and passionate about astronomy, and his lectures are packed full of fun and interesting information.

I really enjoyed Tommis energy in his lectures. You can tell he gets excited about certain subjects and that makes it interesting. You have 5 homework assignments, a few in class ones, and a final project. Its not too much work and he lets you turn things in up until the last day of class for some credit. Its definitely math and science driven
