See the Naked Eye lab Constellation and Star Names for our recommendations on how to prepare for this practical. Quizzes will not be given to students arriving after the quiz nor will make-up quizzes be given. Excused absences will be dealt with on an individual basis. Quizzes usually will be based on work done in carrying out previous work with your telescopes or on work that should have been accomplished, as of that date, in the Naked Eye labs. You will have several labs for which you will need to turn in a lab report.
Late penalties apply, as specified for each lab assignment.
In most cases, these dates reflect times after which the TAs may quiz you on the material and late penalties apply. Quizzes and Practical Exams are to be done individually, without assistance from classmates or other students. On the other hand, we expect you to converse with, share ideas and help and assist your partners and classmates during laboratory exercises, in learning to identify stars and constellations, and in carrying out all labs.
