ASTRON 320
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
She had a lower grading scale (88.5+ was an A) and formatted her HW and tests to match that. Attendance was required through tophat and we were allowed I believe 3 absences. You are allowed notes and textbook (physical) for the midterms, and no final but instead a project that was pretty difficult

ASTRON 320
Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Ke "Coco" is very knowledgeable in astronomy, though lectures tended to get a bit dry at times. The class was graded upon tough weekly homework and two midterms and a final, all online open book.
