Hopefully you will gain a better understanding of what astronomers do and how they know what they know. Weekly laboratory reports are expected. They will be graded on a 100 point scale. The final grade will be based on the average score after the lowest score has been dropped. Grades are determined on the standard 10 points per letter grade scale.
Lab reports are due at the beginning of the next week's laboratory meeting time.
Late reports will not be accepted without prior arrangement. There is no final exam. There are NO make-up labs without official leave or doctor's excuse. Make-ups should be arranged in advance whenever possible, and are unavailable except in the week of the absence. If an unexpected absence occurs, the student should contact the instructor immediately to arrange a make-up.
