Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
The introductory course in astronomy intended for non-majors is taken by about 150 students per semester at Kutztown University. This institution is fortunate in having a planetarium, which is used extensively both in course work in astronomy and with visiting school groups. The projector is a Spitz model A3P, the dome is of perforated aluminum and has a diameter of 10.5 meters, and the seating capacity of the planetarium is about 120. The introductory astronomy course at Kutztown consists of two hours of lectures and a two-hour laboratory session per week. There are five or six laboratory sections, each of which contains about 25-30 students.
