If you are absent from class, you must complete the lab from that class within two weeks of its original assignment. Labs will not be accepted more than two weeks late, except in extenuating circumstances. During the second half of the semester, you may come in on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday night to work on your observing projects. After you have learned how to use the telescopes and how to navigate the night sky, you will be able to observe independly. You may do them in groups, but the work you hand in must be your own.
All projects are due on the last day of class.
You will take two quizzes in the course of the semester. The second is the Telescope Quiz, due by Oct. 27, in which you will demonstrate that you can operate a small telescope and identify its parts. You may take either quiz as many times as you wish until you pass it.
