Scientific paper

In this paper, I submit that astronomy-astrophysics courses should be restructured, particularly since the subject is being increasingly opened to nonastronomers. Astronomy provides numerous examples in which one and the same concept is used in many different contexts (experimental techniques as well as theory): this pedagogically invaluable feature is generally lost in traditional courses and books which concentrate on modeling a particular object or class of objects using many different ideas simultaneously. Response from students to experimental courses of this nature has been most encouraging.
