Quizzes will have 40 multiple-choice questions and will be on the
material we have covered in class. I will ask about
1) basic definitions and facts, 2) applications or usage of basic concepts,
and 3) how the various concepts and ideas can be used together to tell us
more about the subject matter. For example, know the main properties of
the H-R diagram and how the quantities plotted in the diagram are derived
from observations of stars. Then think about the different properties of
stars that we can deduce from their location in the H-R diagram.
