This final project is a chance for you to bring something of yourself to my class. While I hope you will take some things away from Astronomy 101, I also want you to take the things youre learning in my class and mix them with the rest of your intellectual life. Or, to put it another way while you may be learning a new way to look at the world in my course, I want you also to look at astronomy using the skills and methods that you have acquired from your other pursuits.
You need not choose a project related to your major; however, I encourage you to choose a project that connects this course to other skills or knowledge that you have. These projects are sorted by discipline, allowing students with particular interests to find suggested projects in their own fields.
You also do not need to choose a project from this list. These are some ideas that I have; you likely have other ideas. Your ideas are likely just as good as mine. If you want to do something else, please read many of these suggestions to get an idea of the directions you may take. If in doubt, come see me during help session and discuss your project ideas with me.
Regardless of what you choose for your project, it should be executed with intellectual skill. While I encourage you to be creative, your project should involve some skill in whatever discipline it has its roots in. Whatever you choose to do, do it well.
Your projects will be graded on the basis of:
creativity and (if appropriate) artistic quality
insight into both astronomical material and any other disciplines involved
depth of thought
rhetorical clarity (but no points will be deducted for purely grammar mistakes)
intellectual effort
The projects will be due on the day of our final exam, December 14.
Essays should be at least three pages (1 inch margins/12 point font/space-and-a-half). However, if you have strong ideas, Im far more interested in the expression of your ideas than in how many pages you use to describe them.
As with any academic paper, please cite your sources if you do research (which you may need to for many topics). Any citation format that allows me to identify the original source is acceptable.
