One- or two-semester introductory astronomy courses.
Astronomy is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of one- or two-semester introductory astronomy courses. Astronomy, the study of the universe beyond the borders of our planet, is one of the most exciting and rapidly changing branches of science. Even scientists from other fields often confess to having had a lifelong interest in astronomy, though they may now be doing something earthbound—like biology, chemistry, engineering, or writing software.
🔰Some suggestions to help you increase your chances of doing well in your astronomy class.
1. The best advice is to be sure to leave enough time in your schedule to study the material in this class regularly.
2. In class, use only a laptop or tablet for study purpose.
3. Try to take important notes during class. Many students start college without good note-taking habits.
4. Try to read each assignment in the textbook twice a day, once before it is discussed in class, and once afterward.
5. Form a small astronomy study group with classmates. Get together with them regularly and discuss on learning.
6. Before each exam, create a conclusive outline of the main ideas discussed in class and presented in your text.
7. If your professor suggests doing web-based sample quizzes, or looking at online apps, animations, or study guides, take advantage of these resources to enhance your studying.
