Welcome to the AST 104 website for Spring 2005. Below you will find links to the Syllabus and copies of overheads that I use during lectures. Some students find downloading the overheads useful for notetaking and/or studying. There are also links to the lists of important terms for each textbook chapter which are distributed in class. Occasionally, I will post links to other websites of interest. Eventually grades will be posted here also.

Good luck and have a great semester.
