Fall 2005, Associate Instructor (Dr. Durisen-Instructor), A103: The Search for Habitable Planets

Spring 2008, Volunteer Associate Instructor (Dr. Durisen-Instructor), A103: The Search for Life in the Universe

This class was designed for (mostly) non-majors and covers various topics such as: how is life defined, where would you most likely look for it, and what methods might you use to actually detect life or extrasolar planets. This course also covers some basic physics and astronomy concepts, but does not require upper level math or physics knowledge.
