Jason Kendall
I taught introductory Astronomy at William Paterson University from 2011 to 2020, and at CUNY Hunter from 2016 to 2018. In my years of teaching, I tried to make my class innovative and interesting, featuring unique assignments and activities. I've also created a series of over 100 videos covering most of introductory Astronomy. These videos are rigorous enough to be possibly used as a low-level, self-taught Astrophysics class.
Most of the videos on this channel are geared towards a full intro astronomy course. It contains all the content of a typical undergraduate course, and then some.
