Some colleagues and web pages may themselves be considered reputable, but you should consult with Dr. Murray before assuming this to be the case. The first meeting will occur in the first week of classes. The outline must include three references which you either have used, or plan to use. If any difficulties are encountered later that, in your opinion, require significant revision of the project, then a revised outline shall be submitted as soon as possible. In addition to the regularly scheduled meetings, you should contact Dr. Murray at any other time when you feel in need of additional guidance or assistance.
All projects are due in final form one week before the beginning of final exams.
The paper will cover a topic relevant to Astronomy 10 in more detail than presented in class. At least five references must be used. You will give a talk about your research topic either at an honors seminar or in the Astronomy 10 class. You shall develop an interactive application to illustrate a concept in astronomy. You shall discuss and demonstrate your project either at an honors seminar, or in class.
