A few practical notes
Feb. 1st, 2012 11:07 amStudents: I’ve had a matter come up that means I’m less likely to be available at the usual odd times outside of my scheduled office hours at least until mid-March. The most current schedule and any changes for the week are posted at the door to the tower on the seventh floor, for convenience, and to save you the flights of stairs to my office. If for some reason the (quite extensive) scheduled hours don’t work, let me know and we can arrange something that does.
7th years:
A reminder that your independent research proposals are due a week from Friday. Remember that you must include both an observational and theoretical component, and clearly identify planned observing times, alternate plans to allow for weather, specific resources (charts, specialised telescopes, etc.) needed, and your precise research goal.
Bring any questions to lecture, please, as our observing time Friday is rather packed this week if the weather holds clear as promised. Those of you still in need of a topic should consult the list on the board by my office for ideas before then.
YPL students:
We’ve now got a break in activities until March, when we’ll be working on the mural project and art discussions with Mrs Pencarrow. In the meantime, do think about whether there are topics you’d suggest for the subject of the mural, or whether there are paintings in the castle you’d particularly like to learn more about.
