Winter 2020 - Professor Morris is one of the best astronomy professors hands down. I know it sounds obvious, but go to lecture/discussion and know how to do the homework/ study guides, and you'll do fine. Don't rely too much on the assigned text though. More often than not, you're going to have to go online and/or refer to other textbooks to do the homework.
