3.00 Credits
In this studio students will build aesthetic and technical expertise by studying photography as an art form as well as a commercial endeavor. Students will learn and apply advanced black and white film exposure, processing and special printing techniques. An introduction to copying art works and producing slides will be included. The comprehension of special techniques and materials along with their relationship to the printed image and visual concept is emphasized. This includes experimenting with altered negatives and prints, solarization, hand coloring and toning, working with different graded papers and different paper developer. Students develop a cohesive body of work exploring some topics of their own. Students provide their own camera and supplies.

This course is a descriptive study of the universe that emphasizes the physical concepts that explain astronomical phenomena. The evolutionary, structural, and dynamical aspects of the solar system, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and the entire universe are discussed. The laboratory experience has both quantitative and qualitative components that include outdoor observations of night sky objects, daytime solar observations, and computer simulations. There is occasional evening viewing outside of class.

In the study of planetary science, the students will explore geology, chemistry, physics and astronomy in their applications to the composition, dynamics, atmospheres, surfaces, and magnetospheres of objects within the solar system. The search for life or conditions suitable for life in other parts of the solar system is a driving force of solar system exploration., thus biology is incorporated as well. This course will help the student develop skills necessary to discuss and write about science.

Prerequisites: MATH 01122 or MATH 01130 This course surveys current methods in modern astronomy research and education. The topics include, but are not limited to, modern telescopes (optical and radio), CCD cameras, astronomical data, imaging software, solar observing, and planetarium operation. Topics during a given term may be chosen around a theme of either research or education. This course features the use of precision instruments and quantitative methods. Evening observational projects, field trips, and oral presentations are part of this course.
