Sunday, January 8, 2006, 2:30-5:30pm, Virginia C

Astronomy 101 is a popular elective amongst undergraduates of all backgrounds, as is demonstrated by the attendance of 250,000 students across the country in introductory astronomy courses. This session, offered at every meeting, is equally popular with their instructors. Discussions are wide ranging with specific topics selected for each session, but they always focus on What makes science/astronomy difficult for students? How do we, as instructors, adapt our specialized knowledge so that our students learn astronomy and enjoy doing so. Join us for an interactive discussion.
