Wenesday, 16th October---Please look for solutions to the early homework sets in the glass cases outside Room A-408 in the Cook Building.  I have also poster there a copy of a previous Mid-Term Exam.  In preparation for our Mid-Term Exam on Monday, 21st October, I have scheduled two Help Sessions.  One is at 6--7:30 pm on Thursday, Oct. 17, and the other is at 7--9 pm on Sunday, Oct. 20.  Both will be held in our regular classroom,
B-112 Angell.  


Friday, 11th October---The first sets of homework solutions are posted on the right-side end of the glass cases outside Room A-408 Cook Bldg.  Posted are the solutions for the first three homework assignments, ch. 1, ch, 2 and ch.3/4.  No late homework from these assignments will now be accepted.  


Thursday, 12 Sept---Two people have reported difficulties in accessing the Homework Helps, where three of the problems are given.  I have checked into the problem, and have accessed the page from several different servers.  Therefore, (as your Network Provider) would inform, please do not treat this as a "network problem".  If your browser will not load the page, then please find one on campus which will!  I have never found the slightest problem, but the one person who I actually spoke to was able to load the page using the syntax---

Monday, 9 Sept---Please note the tutoring hours on the Astronomy 5 "home page" above.  We have often noticed that students have quite a few questions on the first several homework assignments, but that this often tapers off as people get used to the type of questions we ask (and the text asks).  So, please come around to me or the tutors during our office hours if you are having difficulty.  This is a very difficult course to get behind in, as we will soon be covering two chapers each week!
