Scientific paper

The Whitman College Department of Astronomy offers two distinct introductory courses, a one-semester course for non-science majors and a two-semester course for students with more familiarity with physics and mathematics. Learning styles for students in the majors' course are typically much more likely to include an ability to apply mathematical and spatial terms to the description of physical situations. On the other hand, a significant number of students taking the non-majors' course show some level of intimidation when presented with mathematical descriptions. This paper will describe the ways in which two separate introductory tracks enable us to better meet the needs of both groups of students.
