PHY 107: Observational Astronomy
3.00 Credits
Adelphi University
3 credits This is an Internet-based course designed to provide non-science majors with an introduction to the field of astronomy. An interactive, web-based presentation is used in place of a lecture. Students will be able to submit assignments online and have the opportunity to participate in online, text-based, discussion forums. Students will be required to be present for four in-class sessions: the first being an orientation, and the remaining three for midterm and final exams. Adelphi’s online astronomy course combines traditional course material with the most recent discoveries to work at accomplishing the following goals: to help students identify and track objects in the night-time sky, and understand the laws that govern their motion; to provide an understanding of the properties of astronomical objects with a special focus on the solar system; and to review recent developments in astronomy and how they affect our understanding of our place in the universe.
