III Astrophysics

  • Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics. Masterfully taught, but needed a bit more structure, and it was in a weird order imo.
  • Exoplanets. Deceptively in-depth. Looking back, I'm glad it went slowly! Lots of somewhat iffy and qualitative stuff -- a quite immature course.
  • Exoplanets (Queloz). I don't have enough evidence to say that winning a Nobel prize makes you a bad lecturer, but I have more than enough to say that being at the Cavendish does.
  • Astrophysical Black Holes. Nice to compress what was a, uh, highly caffeinated lecture course
  • Disks. Much as I would like to hate this course, I found it kinda nice. Might have been better suited to a 3-unit course though.
