Student Comments

"I took Astronomy W12 in the summer to demonstrate to grad schools that I have a very solid knowledge about the solar system. The entire course except for the final exam is online. Other than the final, there will be weekly mastering astronomy homework, weekly online mandatory discussion posts and replies where people will answer a prompt and debate each other on who is right, three special assignments where you play around with sky software, google mars, and write an essay on exploring an exoplanet, and an online midterm. There is very few computations required in the course.” – Andrew Hsu, former webmaster, recent Astrophysics graduate
