Fall 2024 - Literally my favorite class. If you have an interest in space and are a humanities major who wants science credit out of the way—take this cluster. All of the professors held ample office hours and for the most part TAs were really helpful with any questions too. Grading is super easy with the final only 10% so I definitely know people who failed the final and still got an A. There is the smallest bit of math so be aware but very manageable and this was definitely the better of the two quarters, very engaging, interesting, and most of the time understandable. Shout out to my favorite professor Erik Petigura
