Getting Started with PHY 102

Welcome to my astronomy class! This spring, we'll be using this blog, the MasteringAstronomy online homework system, a book by Phil Plait called Bad Astronomy, and a game booklet called The Trial of Galileo. I've already posted a draft version of the schedule and the syllabus for you to look over. Please read Chapter 1 of Bad Astronomy before classes start since we will be doing an activity based on it the first day. See you soon!
