Pam L in Mid Tenn Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My 12th grade son is doing The Teaching Company's Introduction to Astronomy this semester. I am trying to find an easy way to give some assignments. He will get a half credit for watching the videos, reading through the outline, doing some assignments and taking some type of quiz or test. Are there assignments for this course somewhere? Quizzes? Tests? I would love to use something pre-made rather than make up my own. Quizlet perhaps? Thanks for your help with any ideas!

Kate in Arabia Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi Pam.. I was interested in your thread as I look towards next year and beyond. I don't know if it would be of any help, but what I did was look for the actual courses your prof teaches -- he's an astronomy prof at Berkeley. He teaches an introductory astronomy class there, you can find some materials for that online -- homework assignments, and if you go to some of those general college course websites (where they rate profs, etc.) there are some old exams there. The issue is I have no idea whether this correlates to the course from The Teaching Company, kwim? In the physical course it looks like there are two mid-terms and a final, which I did find, but I didn't find a course syllabus to indicate exactly what was covered before or what texts are used, etc. I also don't know the legality of posting old exams -- is that allowed?

8filltheheart Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We used the lecturer'stextbook and purchased online access tot he supplemental materials through either Cengage or Mastering Astronomy. (We. Did one for one yr and one for the next and I don't remember which was which.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
