It is comprehensive and closed book and notes. You are encouraged to work on homework in groups, but be sure you can do things on your own for the tests are not group activities. We will try to build your understanding of astronomy, group skills, and written and oral presentation skills. Attendance in laboratory is mandatory. I will keep track of attendance in lecture- not necessarily daily.
Attendance means more than being there in body.
You must become a part of the class. If I feel you are there in body but not participating I will warn you before I deduct points. Jupiter and Beyond Lab reports are due one week after performing the experiment at the beginning of lab. Late reports are penalized 2 points per day late. Labs are graded out of 10 points.
