The following is a list of possible projects students in astronomy will undertake during this semester. Each of the projects is further delineated in further documents. In each document a goal, description of the task, and an evaluation are described.
Technology is a common theme through each of the projects.
All of the projects will require a presentation before the class. Evaluation of this presentation is to be a major consideration. The Oregon State Department of Education has developed a scoring guide for the purpose of evaluation of a Oral Presentation. Click here to see a Web version of that scoring guide.
