Basis for Rating: This course was very enjoyable. I liked the subject matter and found that the learning structure was easy to follow. The only thing that I did not enjoy doing was the Multicolor study sheet; on the other hand, it was cool to study in a new way.Review: From the lessons in this semester, I have learned the most from week 15 when studying about light. I learned about the different wavelengths of light, and how astronomers know what stars are made of by the light that comes off of it, and if those stars are moving away from us or towards us using the same method "If the hydrogen lines from the object appear at longer wavelengths, then we know they are redshifted and the object is moving away from us. If the lines appear at shorter wavelengths, then we know they are blueshifted and the object is moving towards us. (Bennett 124) This amazing discovery led me to appreciate the science of astronomy more than I did before taking this astronomy semester.
