My Astronomy teacher, Mr. Geller, is amazing. Stereotypical scientist. Thick glasses, pocket protector, squeaky voice, hunched over a beaker of DNA kind of guy. We're talking James Bond-esque mad scientist. Spends all day Doing Science. The kind of guy who can do long division in his head but can't quite tie his own shoes. And the kind of teacher who, if he tells you something once, assumes you learned it and doesn't feel the need to repeat it. Which is exactly how I want to be taught. No pointless repetition of stuff we already learned. I'm absolutely giddy from this class. Learning is so much fun.
My Astronomy Lab professor, on the other hand, is a freaking moron. How this woman managed to pass middle school algebra is a mystery, let alone rise to the rank of professor. The labs are just pointless busy work. And no one even has any idea what we're supposed to turn in, there's just random pointless questions scattered throughout the lab manual, and she won't instruct us. And she says things like, "Sunspots gradually move towards the equator, but no one knows why." I know why. I've been studying astronomy since Monday, and I know why. But she's just the astronomy professor, so. And everyone laughed when she said it. God it made my day. She's just completely clueless.
