If you attend a talk or show related to astronomy, you can earn ten points extra credit each time. In each case, merely attending a session will not get you the points. You must write a 300-word report about the event covering the subject matter and what you learned from it. You should turn in these reports within a week of seeing the event. Acceptable shows and talks in the area are listed below.
If you have any other ideas for learning opportunities you think would make good extra credit projects, feel free to ask, but preferably in advance.
