Important NOTES pertaining to this course
It is important that you view ALL notes pertaining to your course.This course does not require the purchase of a lab kit. Any lab materials needed are similar to household items, with the exceptions of binoculars. Students will be required to obtain and use binoculars or a small telescope for observing the moon in the sky.
This course is not designed to be self-paced. Within the schedule of the course, though, you have great flexibility with your study/work time. For the most part, the course is organized according to the week of the semester. Readings, assignments/homework and labs are spread throughout the course, and they have specific deadlines; you must submit each assignment before its deadline expires. Late assignments will not be accepted without prior approval from your Instructor.
No matter if you are taking the 15 week or 10 week session, the amount of material covered and all course activities will be the same.
