Assignment: The Influence Of Astronomy On The Culture
There's two parts to this assignment.
(1) A 3 page paper (3 full pages of actual text). References listed on an additional page. This will be submitted via the Dropbox in this assignment area.
(2) A discussion post in the topic within this assignment area of at least 3 interesting factoids you discovered in writing your paper.
Here's the details -- select a culture (or sub-culture) and report on their astronomical, belifs, contributions, etc. as well as the influence of astronomy on their culture. The goal behind this project is to introduce you to other aspects of astronomy's rich history (due to time constraints, this course takes a very Western worldview). There's a discussion topic just for questions with regards to whether or not a certain culture is appropriate -- some are easier to cover than others. Example of past topics are doomsday cults, Arabic, Jewish, Mayan, Chinese, Egyptian, etc.
