Test T02 (updated)

gilroy0 — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:14:19 +0000

Test T02 is on Friday 2009 Mar 27.

Important Note:

It turns out there has not been any evaluation of the History of Astrophysics material that we covered in mid-February. Since you’ve been told that the test is on impacts and planet formation, the material will be restricted to those topics … there will not be any questions on the Greeks, Galileo, etc.

Class Notes:

The first test will be on Tuesday Feb 17. It will consist of 8 short-answer questions (of which you will choose 5) and 3 essay questions (of which you will choose 1). You will have the opportunity to write your answers on computer.

You may bring a single-sided 8.5×11 sheet of paper with anything written (or drawn) on it. If you send a copy of this sheet to gilroySSA at gmail.com before 11:59 PM on Sunday Feb 15, you will receive +2 on the test. (It is OK if you continue to modify the sheet after sending.)

These are the class notes from the first few weeks.
