Assignments/Extra Credit:
Assignment descriptions are found on pages 9 and 10 of the syllabus. Some relevant handouts/assignments can be found on the handouts page. Most assignments are from your textbook. The workbook will mostly be for in-class activities.
Due dates depend on your section and are listed in the table below. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING UP TO DATE ON THE HOMEWORK. If the table below seems out of date, let me know ASAP, perhaps via email!
Extra credit directions & opportunities are listed in the syllabus, page 13-14.
Added 3/18 Test 1 was graded out of 45 questions. The test rewrite is
due either Tuesday, March 23 or Wednesday, March 24 depending on which
section you're in. The questions that are NOT eligible for the rewrite
are:
BLUE: 11, 15, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 36, 39, 40, 42, 43
YELLOW: 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 36, 39, 40, 41, 43
Added 3/18 Assignments #8 and #9 on the syllabus have changed. The new version of assignment #8 are also the end-of-chapter questions from chapter 7 and the questions that are due are 5, 6, 20, 23, 27, 30. The new assignment #9 will be 4, 10, 17, 22.
Added 4/8 Test 2 was graded out of 62. Questions
not eligible for the rewrite (all colors) are 5, 12, 17, 18, 24, 27, 29,
30, 32, 38, 42, 45, 48-70.
Added 5/4 Test 3 was graded out of 55. Questions
not eligible for the rewrite (both colors, BUT THE TESTS ARE DIFFERENT)
are 17, 18, 35, and 54. Not too many are ineligible this time. Do a good
job explaining why the Moon looks the way it does in the rewrite
questions. Explain it as though your non-astronomy-student-friend were
trying to learn from your answer.
Added 5/10. Test 3's BLUE answer key had the wrong answer
for question 39. If you took the blue test and put "B" for question #39,
please let me know, preferably on the rewrite, so I can give you
credit. If you're not doing the rewrite, show me your scantron so I can
update your score.
DUE DATES ARE LISTED IN THE TABLE BELOW.
Added 6/1 Test 4 was graded out of 58 questions. The
ineligible questions are 14, 15, 19, 23, 25, 26, 30, 31, 49, 59, and 60.
Blue and yellow tests were identical.
