Good morning astronomy students. Today is Tuesday April 1, 2008. There are 274 days left in the year.
In class today you’ll hear a short introduction of myself and of my goals for my classes here, for the next three months. Let me tell you again that I understand it might be a bit difficult making the transition to a new teacher, mid year. Rest assured that I want to make that as painless as possible, for you all and myself.
(And the answer [the ultimate answer], to life, the universe, and everything, is 42.)
But carry on we must, and get to know each other me must as well. And so to that end, I have an introductory assignment for you. It can be found on the Astronomy Assignments Page (you know, by clicking).
So click away, and get started. This is a short and sweet assignment that serves many purposes. Rest assured that any work I assign is meaninginful work. That is to say, I neither approve of nor assign “busy work”.
Tomorrow on this site, I shall explain the purpose behind this assignment.
So hop to it, k?
