評價教學內容	#1內容涵蓋中國天文學、西方天文學、現代物理學、宇宙的誕生及演化等等。雖然我本身對這些不是特別感興趣，但大部分時間還是聽得很開心（主要是湯博士講得好）。內容不會涉及太多物理，不是讀理科的同學也可以放心reg。考試的MC頗有難度，不過這是件好事，因為你付出多少就收獲多少。好grade，只要稍微用點心，A range無難度。 #2 啲宇宙模型同天文運動可能要啲時間消化。（不過有動畫模型睇，應該好啲） 講中國天文嗰part比想象中佔嘅課時多，個人覺得少悶。 不過捱過中國天文就開始有趣返，學到嘢嘅。佢份term paper係book report嚟，中文要寫攞你命4000。有reading list要跟，仲有啲guiding questions，同埋要交first draft比湯博士con下先（好事嚟，幾十個人佢都肯individual consultation lol）。啲問題其實喺嗰堆書可以搵晒啲facts出嚟答晒佢，無咩詮釋空間可言，但此功課亦要求有個人見解，我唔係好明點樣有個人見解?_? 既然啲科普／天文史書已經寫晒各種歷史評價同quote晒啲四書五經，我哋作為門外漢除咗抄書之外仲有咩好補充？我智力有限，唔係好識寫份paper，不過出嚟個grade唔算太爛，鼓勵大家寫文多send email或者直接約佢問問題，理解多啲佢requirement 功課同考試有上堂或者睇番筆記都識做。不過一個sem有成3次功課，好似比我其他take嘅ug course甚至某啲major多嘢，仲要有final x_x 完全唔似第一個reviewer寫到咁輕workload，final都唔係mc嚟架lor 總結：學嘢心態想知多啲天文歷史嘢係informative enough嘅，但想養生嘅唔好take
評價教員教學	#1湯博士超級超級超級好人！！！！！講課很有條理，風趣而又不會故作幽默，是我大通遇過最好的老師無誤。本來因為對天文學不感興趣所以沒打算reg，可是去sit了一堂後，立即drop了原本的大通reg了這個。 #2 湯博士啲筆記幾詳盡，不過佢唔知係咪為咗就我哋文科仔所以講得有啲慢
