Melissa Hayes-Gehrke ASTR315 Expecting an A Anonymous 07/01/2024	I loved Dr. H-G! She clearly cares about our understanding of the material, especially because we have to apply it in a quick turnaround for the semester project, which has to do with observing asteroids. Exams are a bit tricky but she's very generous with the curve, so if you study well, you'll be absolutely fine. She's not out to get your grades down - in fact, she's very approachable about concerns with grades and how you can improve your current grade in the class. I'm super glad I took this class, it was hands down one of the coolest classes I've taken. Just a note, though, to emphasize what everyone else is saying about this class: if you do take this class, be prepared to pull a couple of all nighters for the observing period. It's quite annoying, but very well worth it in the end!
Melissa Hayes-Gehrke ASTR315 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/19/2023	Probably the most fun I've had in a college class. Dr. H-G is a very nice professor and really seems like she enjoys teaching and cares about everyone's education. It is very easy to keep up to pace with the class and the exams are also very simple. She puts you into groups for the semester project (which is very cool to do) based on a survey she has everyone fill out at the beginning of the semester. I'm very happy with the group I got which made the class even more enjoyable for me. If you are thinking of taking this class with Dr. H-G, I definitely would recommend taking it! Note: The project does require staying up overnight during the 2 weeks observing period (some nights to even 7 am) just to keep in mind
