The setup of the lectures is as follows: in the lectures, it is assumed that you worked through the
corresponding chapter of the day (see table below). The lectures cover the main content, but we
will discuss some of the questions you have about the lecture topic.
Please send in your questions before Wednesday 13:00 (see the ecampus page on how to do this)
so that they can be considered for the Thursday lectures.
Note that 20% of the grade for this lecture will be based on
your questions.
50% of your grade will be based on the final written exam (open book).
The exam question may resemble the exercises which are discussed during
the exercise class, which is thus highly advisable to attend.
As a mandatory part of this course, we offer a computer lab based on an interactive stellar
evolution software, lead by Dr. Abel Schootemeijer.
30% of your grade will be based on your lab reports.
