Otterbein College Department Of Physics And Astronomy
Introduces faculty and summarizes academic program. Details courses, schedules, and degrees, and offers general information about the Weitkamp Observatory and Science Lecture Series.
http://www.otterbein.edu/dept/phys/

Extractions: Department Home Schedule of Courses ... Contact Us The Physics major at Otterbein College prepares students interested in the natural sciences for a wide variety of careers, from academic or industrial research and development, to medicine, law or business, by providing training in problem solving and analytical thinking. Introductory physics is also taken by students majoring in Chemistry and Life Science who wish to understand the physical principles applied in their own disciplines. The Physical Science major prepares students for a career in teaching in grades 7-12. Otterbein offers a program in Engineering in cooperation with Washington University in St. Louis and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland leading to a B.A. degree from Otterbein College and a B.S. degree in Engineering from the partner institution. Students in this program commonly attend Otterbein for three years and Washington University or Case Western for two. The cooperative engineering program is an attractive alternative to traditional engineering curricula which are typically highly structured and require longer than four years to complete. Program graduates are "liberally educated engineers" with a professional advantage due to the distinctive range of their skills, from problem solving to communication.

Getting Started With Astronomy 160 (Mm) Hybrid/online Course
Otherwise, you might add the course for previous quarter! If you go back toMyWebCT you should see the link to astronomy 160 website.
http://astromm.calstatela.edu/160/160GettingStartedwithOnlineCourse.html

Extractions: California State University Los Angeles First, make sure that you are registered for this course: ASTR 160-01 in Summer 2005. Check through GET or STAR if you are not sure. For interaction, quizzes, the writing assignment, and the final we will use web based environment known as the WebCT (Web Course Tools). You must create your personal "WebCT ID" on campus WebCT server. The procedure to do so is described in http://www.calstatela.edu/centers/cetl/fitsc/webct/pdf/selfreg.pdf It is a pretty straightforward procedure: Go to WebCT server , then, click on link for Create MyWebCT and enter the data. Warning 1 : make sure to enter your correct name as prompted, first then last, and NOT all in lower case or all in upper case . I.e., it should be John Smith , not "Smith John", "john smith", "smith john", "JOHN SMITH" or "SMITH JOHN." This is serious . If you enter your name incorrectly you are violating the alphabetic order by which the grade rosters are created, and you and everyone in the class roster after you may have incorrectly assigned grade. I will deduct points for students who have incorrectly entered names so that I have to make correction by hand. Warning 2 : in order to use the WebCT you have to allow your browser to accept cookies! Do so now, or at least you must do it before you login to the WebCT. You can disallow cookies after you log out from WebCT.

http://www.atnf.csiro.au/pasa/17_2/mazzolini1/

Extractions: (E-mail: mmazzolini@swin.edu.au) Keywords: astronomy education Abstract Teaching an astronomy course online involves many challenges. One major challenge is the design of appropriate, practical and challenging forms of assessment which focus both on the astronomy content of the course and on the particular astronomy interests of the enrollees. This paper will discuss the assessment approaches we have chosen for our introductory-level subjects, the outcomes obtained and the reactions of the course participants. In particular, some of the wide variety of project work undertaken by the participants will be described. 1. Overview Swinburne Astronomy Online, an online Graduate Certificate in Applied Science (Astronomy), commenced in Semester 1, 1999 with 2 introductory-level subjects (Exploring the Solar System, Exploring Stars and the Milky Way) which assume no previous knowledge of astronomy or physics. In Semester 2 1999 and Semester 1 2000 we added a three more subjects: another introductory-level subject (History of Astronomy) and two more advanced subjects (Exploring Galaxies and the Cosmos, Theories of Space and Time). Further advanced subjects are being developed for delivery in the second half of 2000 and beyond. The more advanced subjects assume familiarity with introductory, tertiary-level mathematics, whereas the general-interest subjects are open to all.

Extractions: Peninsula Astronomical Society The Peninsula Astronomical Society is a group of over 200 bay-area astronomy enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds. Some members are professionally trained in astronomy, others are just starting and have never looked through a telescope before. One thing that we all have in common is an interest in the sky. As part of its commitment to bringing astronomy to the public, the Peninsula Astronomical Society (P.A.S) operates the Foothill College Observatory . The Observatory is on the campus of Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, CA (between San Jose and Palo Alto). The observatory is staffed by members of the society who volunteer to conduct the regularly scheduled public procrams. In addition to operating the Foothill Observatory, the P.A.S. has its own observatory in the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains. This location has room for members to set up their own telescopes at our monthly star parties. Three buildings at the site house the society's 12", 16", and 28" telescopes, which are available for member use. The P.A.S. holds meetings on the second Friday of each month at 7:30 pm in Room 5001 next to Parking Lot 5 on the campus of Foothill College. Each meeting features a speaker (or speakers) bringing us up to date on different topics in astronomy. The public is welcome to attend the meetings of the Peninsula Astronomical Society. There is no charge for attending these meetings. Please note that visitor parking permits are available from the machines in the parking lots for $2.00.

Extractions: INTRODUCTION TO ASTRONOMY REVISED (ONLINE SECTION) PSI: 111 / SECTION AL6 INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS CONSIDERING ENROLLING This section of Introduction to Astronomy is offered as an alternative to the usual presentation format. There are no regular class meetings, although there will be on-campus testing and optional on-campus help sessions. There are no on-campus lab sessions. That statement is a mistake in the course catalog. The textbook will be Discovering the Universe [6 th edition], the same text used for the other sections of Introduction to Astronomy. [The text is available in the Meramec bookstore as well as from online sources, e.g. www.ecampus.com The ISBN number for the text is 0-7167-4450-3. If you plan to get the text from the bookstore do it ASAP because the bookstore frequently does not order enough books for all sections. For each chapter, there is a list of key words, summaries of key ideas, and study exercises. There are also some links to related web sites. The text comes with a CD that is very helpful, so youll need to have a CD drive on your computer. The CD has self- tests, a planetarium program, and animated illustrations. The many animations are very helpful to students. So much of astronomy is embodied in models, and most of these models involve motion. For students to be able to see the motion, rather than just imagine it, is important to student understanding.
