Revised Wordle.net tag cloud (revised) for "big bang" generated by responses from Astronomy 210 students at Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA (http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/2179745/Untitled).
Students have a weekly online reading assignment (hosted by SurveyMonkey.com), where they answer questions based on reading their textbook, material covered in previous lectures, opinion questions, and/or asking (anonymous) questions or making (anonymous) comments. Full credit is given for completing the online reading assignment before next week's lecture, regardless if whether their answers are correct/incorrect. Selected results/questions/comments are addressed by the instructor at the start of the following lecture.
(The following question was asked prior to lectures on cosmology and the big bang.)
Write down five words that describe or are associated with "big bang." Keep word phrases together with no spaces between them (e.g., "bigbang"). (Graded for completion.)
