Eta Carinae

(a massive stellar blowout)

This page will always be, for obvious reasons, under construction. It will include syllabi and links to sites about astronomy or related fields. The links cover activities and programs not only for university students but also K-12 students; the latter links will hopefully prove useful to those involved in community outreach programs. If you know of specific good sites that you think should be included here, or have ideas for specific resources please let me know. Thanks.

Our Department's original assessment document Goals and Assessment for Student Learning is here.
