Course Sections
This web site is for Atoms and Stars, IST 2420,
Section 001, CRN 22868 for the Winter 2009 semester. This course meets Monday evenings starting Monday,
January 12, 2009,
6 PM to 9:40 PM. The
classroom is 100 Shapero. See the map below. The class will normally run until the end time.
Required Texts:
1. Atoms and Stars Reader (Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, Wayne State University)
2. Atoms and Stars Lab Manual (Department of Interdisciplinary
Studies, Wayne State University)
Texts are shrink-wrapped together, available only from Palmer Printing
/ 61 West Palmer between Woodward and Cass / 313-831-3216. Both
together are $30 cash only. Business hours: 9 - 5 Mon – Fri. Call
ahead; they print them as needed.
I know this could be more convenient, but it is about half price
compared to other sources we have tried.
If you are looking for a used version, a set from Fall 2006 on will be
the same, but versions from earlier semesters will be different. Some student
remove pages from the lab manual, so check to make sure that all pages are
present.

NOTE: Temperatures in the lab room are extremely unpredictable. Sometimes it
will be hot; at other times, cold. DRESS IN LAYERS!!!
