INST 154: Apollo at 50
Spring 2020
Online Class Session 17
Must be Completed by Tuesday April 7 at 6:15 PM
There is no intro video for this session. After completing the reading
you can complete the other requirements in any order, but the
recommended order is to first take the reading quiz, then watch the
lecture video, and then contribute to the discussion board. You must
complete all parts of this by 6:15 PM on the date listed for this
class session in the schedule.
Team Project
Please don't forget that one member of your project team must upload
your team's report by 6:15 PM on April 7!
Readings
As has been the case all semester, each student is assigned one
reading for every class. Sometimes the "reading" is actually a video.
Your assigned reading is based on your student number at your table
(if you do not know your student number, you can find it on the table
roster on the ELMS home page). You must do this before doing anything
else for this class session.
Reading Quiz
This is a one-question open book quiz. Answer the one question only
for the reading (or video) that you were assigned (it will ask you to
confirm that you don't wish to answer the other questions; say yes).
You can only take this quiz once, and you must complete it within 15
minutes of starting it. You can only take this quiz once.
Lecture Video
There are two videos for this week. No Panopto video is available for
this session, so these videos were recorded specifically for this
online class session. You need to watch both of them.
Discussion Questions
These are the two questions that you should contribute to answering on
your table's discussion
board [login required] (if you don't know your table number, see
the list on our classes ELMS home page). The goal here is to
contribute to the discussion, not just to offer your own answer, so
craft your responses in the context of any answers that are already
there. Indicate with the question number which parts of your
contribution refer to each question. You may also more generally
comment on the topic of the session if you like. Note that you will
only get credit for original contributions that don't repeat (or
simply agree or disagree) with comments previously posted on the same
questions.
If you have questions about any of the content of this session (e.g.,
the readings or the lecture) you can also include your questions to us
on your table's discussion board and we'll answer them there during
our regular class times (which is when we expect to be reading your
discussion board posts). You can, of course, also send us email with
any questions any time and we'll get back to you more quickly than we
will to questions left on your discussion board.
Below here you will find other materials that you might find useful.
Additional Materials: Pre-Class Video
This is the video that we would have shown before class.
Additional Materials: Onboard Audio
These are recordings of the Apollo 8 crew having discussions among
themselves in lunar orbit. They were recorded on the DSE.
Additional Materials: Slides
These are the slides that were used in the lectures (which are also
shown within the Panopto viewer).
