This course may be used for transfer.
Extra Credit There is only one method for receiving extra credit in this class and it requires consistent work on astronomy lecture material through the semester. To receive extra credit, you will need to spend a minimum of one hour every two weeks in my office hours working on astronomy lecture material throughout the entire semester. If you complete this, you will receive an extra 5% on your final course grade. If you miss any two week period or do not complete an entire hour in the designated two week period, you get nothing.You will receive an extra 3% on top of the other 5% (for a total of 8%) if, after the first four weeks, you meet with your group during office hours. The two week sections are:
