I just decided to stop doing HW now. I'm really fed up with my astronomy class. When started the class this semester, they swore up and down that there would be very little mathat all. However, they lied, and it seems that a majority of the HW questions are math problems. And they aren't realy simplistic plug and chug equations, but they have large nasty equations that have to be modified, moved around and combined with other relatively nasty equations. On top of that, we don't have an equation sheet, so we have to refer to the class notes, which can be very hard to follow (but not as hard to follow as the lecture). In the end, I really wish they wouldn't lie to us about how much math they're putting in the class and make it just a little easier for the students to get the equations instead of going through over 100 pages of transparency notes. Bleh!
