Wordle.net tag cloud for "big bang" (pre-instruction) generated by responses from Astronomy 210 students at Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA, spring semester 2011 (http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/3423598/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.
Write down five words that describe or are associated with the "big bang." Keep word phrases together with no spaces between them (e.g., "forexample, likethis, nospaces"). (Graded for completion.)
[Responses have been edited to consolidate related common subjects.]
