Course materials: Syllabus Before class every day you should open the link on the syllabus and read the material and answer the questions. If there is home work you need to do that also and e-mail it to jss@hal.physast.uga.edu with astr3010 and the date due in the subject line
Here is a quick summary of what you should

You may also need instructions on how to open and close the
