ASTR 5770 Cosmology Fall 2025: Projects
Two weeks before your presentation, deadline Oct 31, you will post a 10-minute zoom version of your presentation. Please email me the link that zoom will provide to you, no later than the Fri Oct 31 deadline (with no passcode please: the recording will be behind the CU firewall). Watch your own zoom recording. You are your own best critic!
Each of you will sign up as a reviewer of 3 of the presentations. Your choices will be posted on this page. First come first served. Each of 3 reviewers takes responsibility for asking questions during the 5 minute q&a period.
The first problem set of the semester is to select a survey/mission/experiment, and to write a short abstract explaining your selection. Your selected survey will be posted here.
The grading is:
| Video | 12 points |
| Presentation | 12 points |
| Reviewing | 6 points |
In grading, I look for: clarity; organization; accuracy; adequate references; response to questions; avoidance of tics (um, er, like).
The list of presentations will be posted on this web page.
