- There are no Exams or Quizzes in this course. YAY!

- Satellite Searches (two separate searches): 10 points each - Click Here for more details.

- Final Paper: 50 points - Please write a paper that describes everything covered in this course. This should be in your own words and the grammar/punctuation should be appropriate for a college paper. You can include your own reactions to certain features of the course or certain topics covered. You can include personal experiences if they relate to anything in the course. You can include any discussions topics that took place in the class. You don't have to include all of the above, but this paper should basically be a summary of what the class was about. Maybe you could pretend that you are telling a friend about the course and write what you would tell them. Your paper doesn't have to discuss every detail, but it should not be a simple list either. Use full sentences and I am fairly wide open on how you go about writing this paper. As long as it gives a good summary of the course, then it should be good. The paper should be at least 5 pages double-spaced (this is about 1250 words total). It should be typed and submitted as a PDF file. If you are having trouble filling five pages, then you need to rethink how you are writing the paper or else contact me. Submit this paper to me via e-mail by the end of 10/9/26 (rhunckler@sc4.edu). Only PDF files will be accepted. If you don't know how to create a PDF file, ask me (or Google it). It's easy!
