<p>For everyone stating the easiness of certain courses and then pointing to easily attained A+'s, let me temper the joy a little.</p>
<p>If a course has a median of B+, a good number of people got A+'s. It also means that in supposedly incredibly easy course, a lot of people got B- and below. So it works both ways.</p>
<p>I would strongly advise against taking ASTRO 101/102 and skipping the lectures entirely. For one, prelims are conducted in class. For two, "clickers" make up part of the grade. Lastly, ASTRO 102 is considered the more difficult of the two, and it also happens to be the one offered in the Spring.</p>
