I expect to make small adjustments to the above scale. If you have trouble understanding something in the course, please ask questions in class or come and see me. I will be happy to discuss the problem with you. The TAs are also available for consultation. Review sessions will be scheduled prior to midterm exams and otherwise as needed.
Astronomy is an observational science.
My research depends in part on visits to the University's McDonald Observatory in west Texas. If I have to miss a class for this or any other reason, the class will meet as usual. You may be interested to visit our Student Observatory on the roof of Painter Hall. This houses a 9 inch refracting telescope. Please see me for further information.
