ASTR 5770 Cosmology Fall 2021: Projects

Projects

Each of you will make a 10-minute presentation, followed by a 5-minute question session, in class, on a ground- or space-based survey, mission, or experiment, past, present, or planned, whose goals are relevant to cosmology. You will make your presentation in one of the two weeks before the Fall Break. Please submit a copy of your presentation to canvas.

Your presentation will be graded on:

Organization
Clarity of presentation
Accuracy
Adequate references
Audience response
Response to questions
Avoidance of um's, er's, like's and the like

The first problem set of the semester is to select a survey/mission/experiment, and to write a short abstract explaining your selection.

The list of presentations will be posted on this web page.
