Does my child have to view the Experience Astronomy PLUS (Level C) course videos on specific days?
The course officially starts in early September. Students will have access to one new video every week (except for a three-week break around Christmas when there will be no new assignments). Videos go live each week on Sunday morning (EST), but students can watch them any time throughout the week. Once released, each video can be reviewed as many times as the student wants through the end of the course.
Lessons correspond to weekly outdoor observation activities. Because one of the goals of the class is to see the changes and movements in the sky over the course of nine months, the course is paced so students cannot “get ahead” by doing a lot of lessons all at once. Because the sky is always changing, it is important for students to do their best to keep up with the assignments week by week.
