• Textbook: The Universe Revealed, Impey and Hartmann

  The book is very good. It contains much information that will not be covered in class on other areas of astronomy and it will be useful for you to have it.

• Grades: 5 short quizzes plus 3 labs. You get to drop one of the quizzes and one of the labs and and will be evaluated based on the remaining six.

• Everything you need to know: is on the World Wide Web. Use your favorite Web Browser and open:

  http://www.ucolick.org/~bolte/AY4/ay4.html

  From here you can read this document, view and print the class notes and find many astronomy-related links. If you are unfamiliar with the WWW, take this opportunity to learn the ropes!

• The Sections: are optional. However, (1) the labs will be administered through them and (2) this is the place to be for reviewing class material and expanding into other areas or deeper coverage.
