Expectations
Attending the live zoom sessions is not mandatory, but you must submit each lesson that you do on your own.
If you do attend the live zoom sessions, you are expected to be respectful of me and your classmates. Stay muted and participate in the chat box, or you can raise your hand to speak aloud. Make sure to give your best effort and stay positive!
You are expected to speak with me once per quarter via your preferred form of communication - edio chat, email, phone, or after class on zoom.

Resources
I have created an Astronomy OneNote that contains notes for all lessons, study guides with answer keys for all tests, and review games for all tests and quizzes. You can easily access this notebook on the Astronomy home page or in the Resources tab.
I recommend you bookmark it! You are allowed to use the notes on tests and quizzes.
