Hi Jen
No I haven't as yet - schoolwork has kept me way too busy to allow myself the luxury of do something for wrt Astronomy - haven't even been able to get the gear out since SV in March! :-( Ok - mini sob story and rant dispensed with!
Steve's comments (post #30) are all good ones, and like he says, jump in and have a go - as well as the worked examples etc there seemed to be a relatively active group of tutors/students online when it comes to asking for assistance.
My intention is to eventually enrol in and complete the three that I haven't done.
Whilst doing the unit I did do I made a point of watch and re-watching the videos - especially the ones on how to solve the associated problems and I often stop started these whilst working through the test you understanding exercises. Once I felt confident with those I then tackled the homework exercises.
As Steve said don't get too hung up on the assessment - the reason you've chosen to enrol is because you want to learn more about the hobby you love.
I hope that all helps - even if only a little bit. Once you're in and started please sing out if you get stuck and I'll help where/when I can as I'm sure others here on IIS will too.
Paul
PS The last two/three nights have all been clear and cold here in Melbourne and I've been writing & marking tests and exams and fuming that I've had to do so at the expense of being able to get the gear out! (Sorry ranting again)
