Astronomy Grading Policy

You will need a 3-ring binder for this class. We do not use a textbook, but resources from various places including the internet (see our home page URL at the bottom of the page) and a curriculum using image processing software called "The Hands-on Universe". This binder becomes your text and portfolio.

Our daily syllabus is online - click the link on the home page. Check this daily for due dates. If you are absent, often you can access the work from home on the internet by clicking the name of the handout on the syllabus as much of what we do is online.
