Great teacher. Very flexible. Test were not hard as long as you actually put some time and effort into his class. Great passion for subject made for a great semester. Take this class you won't regret it.
ASTR1110
A fun guy, but his tests are HARD. Make sure to study extensively. Other than that, it's a fun class with a lot of hands-on assignments to keep you engaged.
ASTRO LAB
1115
Astronomy lab was very easy - if you go. Parke is willing to help you with any questions you have, and each test or exam is taken with an open lab notebook. That means that if you go to the lab and do the work, you will have the either the answers or the exact process to get the answers right in front of you. Easy A.

Parke is one of the greatest college professors I've ever had. He's fun, inspiring, and has a genuine interest in his job. His enthusiasm is infectious. I highly recommend his Astronomy class to anyone who loves science. He did a great job of making the class easy enough for beginners, without being too basic or boring. Rock on Parke. You rule!
ASTRO1100
Incredible teacher, he has so much passion for the subject and you can't help but be giddy about the next class because of it
MATH1
Horrible teacher, he assumes everyone knows about the topic before hand, he also does not connect very well with the student. He cares too much about astronomy when he should focus more on his teaching.
Math70
Best professor I've had at MCTC by far. I struggle with math and he made it so easy and was extremely helpful during every class. He keeps the lectures entertaining and gets to know every student in class by name. Excellent teacher!
Astro1
Parke is passionate, knowledgeable, and an all around wonderful person. By far my favorite professor of my entire college career. If you've ever had the slightest interest in astronomy, his classes will blow your mind! He makes learning interesting and interactive. I honestly wish I could take his class again and again!
ASTR1110
Hes one of the most passionate teachers at MCTC and it shows in the way he teaches and treats his students. His homework is easy, while some of his project assignments are a little out there (required field trips) but still fun. This tests are tricky so study hard! If he sees you in the hall, he'll greet you warmly.
Astr90
A great teacher, but he's a little unforgiving on makeup work. If you miss a quiz or a test, you're out of luck. His tests are hard, by the way. Make sure you study a lot. He doesn't accept late work of any kind. Aside from that he's a wonderful teacher. Very enthusiastic and he's overall pretty a fun guy.
ASTRO1100
He is a great guy but his test are hard. I honestly loved the class just hated the subject. People say this is the easy science ITS NOT!!!!
Astro110
I was terrified of science...but Parke blinded me with science. By that I mean, his enthusiasm was contagious and there I was, driving 50 miles from the city on a frigid winter night to look at stars! Fantastic prof, go for it!
ASTRO1110
I suppose I will be of the few to say I did not like him at all. He's got an ego which made me not want to add comments or questions in class. Made rude remarks on papers and honestly, I paid attention in lectures and studied fairly hard.
ASTR1100
One of the best teachers at MCTC, maybe even the best. He clearly loves to teach and really loves astronomy. Lectures are really fun, test are a little harder.
math70
In my opinion, Parke is one of the best instructors at mctc. He is extremely helpful and shows genuine concern for the success of his students. He actually sees his students as real people that are worthy of getting to know. Unlike many instructors, he takes the time to learn your name.
Math70
Great teacher! He gets to class an hour early every day to help with homework/answer questions and is willing to stay late to help too.
ASTR1110
Easily the best teacher and most interesting material I've encountered my 5 years at MCTC!
ASTR1110
Parke is an amazing teacher. He loves astronomy and it is infectious! He gives great lectures, accompanied by clear power points. He makes every class interesting and is always willing to answer any questions. Also, he tells terrible jokes, which is always a plus in a professor.
MATH095
25 years ago I took remedial math with this poor professor who got stuck with a bunch of "math challenged" students. His easy going personality and endless patience wiped away my traumas. I was able to learn math and finished the whole course 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Someday if I return to Mpls, I'll meet him and say THANK YOU once more.
