Welcome to Astronomy 122 for Spring Term 2008.

Distance Education Class > There is no required textbook for this class. If you already have a general astronomy textbook for whatever reason, that will be useful to consult from time to time.

Please Read the Following:

Navigation of this course is as follows:

  • Course Documents Button

      This will provide the links to the Modules (there are 5 in all, which contain each of the sub-pages related to the overall theme of that Module).

      Note that the first exam (the midterm) in this class actually comes pretty late in the term since it will take that long to build a good foundation for an exam.

  • Course Information Button

      This will provide links to be the basic course information, the course goals, and, most importantly, the explanation of how this course is graded.

  • The Assignments Button

      This will provide links to the 5 homework assignments for this class along with the due dates. Please get the assignments in on time, although your welcome, if you like, to get the assignments in earlier than the due date if you wish to finish the course faster.

      Note, however you will still need to take the midterm during the currently scheduled time period (see course documents for when the midterm is scheduled).

      Also note that the particular assignment may or may not be related to the current course module. In some cases the assignments are meant to prepare you for material to come.

  • The Announcements Button

      By default you will enter the course at the Announcements page. In general, there probably won't be many announcements through out the term unless some situation as arisen (like the sun decides to burnout during class or something ...)
