assignments w/Teaching Co Astronomy


Recommended Posts

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!

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?
