If I could give him 6 stars I would. I've had my fair share of good professors and Diemer is BY FAR the best prof I've had at UMD. At the end of the last lecture of the semester the entire class clapped for him, like a full round of applause because he made the semester so fun, and he deserved every bit of it. Diemer would crack jokes, talk about current astro events, and made the course fun all around which made it enjoyable to go to each lecture, I wanted to go each day. He also would answer any questions students had mid lecture and if he didn't know the answer he'd let you know and would look it up after lecture so that next class he could answer it correctly for you. Each lecture he was so well prepared, it was like he knew his lecture like the back of his hand. Overall just an awesome experience. If you're an architecture major I would still recommend taking ASTR340 even though it has NOTHING to do with anything you'll do in life, purely because you can take Diemer. Quite simply, he's the GOAT. |

Class can be a bit difficult but he curves it. Now, even though the class was hard when I took it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my favorite ASTR courses. I got to learn a lot and it was really easy to approach him with any questions or doubts that I had. |

The class was difficult, but Diemer tried his best to make the material work for us. Make sure you study well and you'll be fine on his exams. I didn't study enough for the final and it brought my grade down significantly. |

Good and kind professor. The only downside is the homeworks and exams which were pretty difficult. |

Super nice professor who did a really good job of transitioning to online learning. Don’t expect an easy A, but easily the most interesting astronomy course I’ve taken so far and Diemer does a good job of explaining and motivating information |

Super nice guy. Homework and exams are long and hard, but the professor is accommodating and tries to make the material work for us. I recommend taking him. |

Long long homeworks and extremely vague, but the grading is lenient so it makes up for it. Exams are hard too. Not an easy A, and quite a bit of workload. |

Lectures are kind of boring, homework is long, and exams are difficult. But the professor is pretty chill and grades leniently, so you can expect to have a decent grade. |
