List the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. What types of telescopes are useful from the Earth’s surface? What can they observe? Explain how light is produced at the atomic level. Distinguish between emission, absorption, and continuous spectra. What can absorption and emission spectra tell us about stars?

Current events are a vital part of the study of government and politics because they help us better understand the world around us and help us connect real-world events to the course content.  Your task for this assignment is—through a paper—to choose a current event and analyze it.   For your paper:   -Your source will likely be an article from a media outlet.  Read it thoroughly and concentrate specifically on important passages (who, what, when, where, how, why).  Keep in mind that I might not even know about this event (or know very little about it).  Inform me!   -Analyze the issue.  Remember that analyzing something means that you are breaking it down and exploring it on a deep level, as opposed to just superficially.   -Decide your point of view.  How do you feel about the issue?  Why do you feel that particular way?  You are expected to give a thoughtful, reasoned opinion.   -What questions about the issue still need to be answered?   Things to keep in mind:   – Make sure that your event has a connection to Texas.  This does not have to be a strong connection, but there does need to be some tie-in.   -The source that you are using must be reputable.  If you have a question about the reputability of your source, email me the link and I’ll tell you whether you should use it or not.    -There is no minimum word count for this assignment.  Through your paper, you must demonstrate that you have a firm understanding of the article (or other source) that you analyzed, the issue/event, and its connection to Texas.

A divorcing couple with three children, a boy age 11, and two girls ages 7 and 4, cannot agree on which parent should have primary custody or on a visitation schedule for the noncustodial parent. In this hypothetical situation, which court-annexed alternative dispute method (mediation, settlement conference, ENE, nonbinding arbitration, mini-trial, or summary jury trial) do you think  is most appropriate and why? If the parties cannot agree, do you think the court system should intervene? How long do you think attempts at conflict resolution between the parties should be allowed? Share your opinions on the discussion board.

Short Analytic Essay No sources required     In María Helena Viramontes’s Under the Feet of Jesus, the prehistoric La Brea Tar Pits figure prominently in several scenes in the novel. The final time the tar pits are referred to occurs right before Estrella confronts the nurse at the clinic in Corazón. In that scene, Estrella   “…remembered the tar pits. Energy money, the fossilized bones of energy matter. How bones made oil and oil made gasoline, The oil was made from their bones, and it was their bones that kept the nurse’s car from not halting on some highway, kept her on the way to Daisyfield to pick up her boys at six. It was their bones that kept the air conditioning in the cars humming, that kept them moving on the long dotted line on the map. Their bones. Why couldn’t the nurse see that? Estrella had figured it out: the nurse owed them as much as they owed her” (Under the Feet of Jesus, 148).   Perform a close reading of the above lines. Critically analyze what kind of experience is here evoked for Estrella; specifically, think about what kind of social history is evoked for her by “the bones”? Why does she remember the tar pits at this pivotal moment in the novel, right before her revolutionary action? What do the Tar Pits tell her about history—and what/whose history, specifically?   Also, in your analysis of this scene, please connect one of the earlier scenes in which the Tar Pits emerge; they occur when Alejo is injured by the pesticides (UFJ, 78); when Alejo first tells Estrella about the Tar Pits (UFJ, 86-88); or when Estrella thinks of them pushing the truck (UFJ, 129).   Please use DIRECT QUOTES from the text to support your claims

NO SOURCES REQUIRED. Opera: Giuseppe Verdi’s La traviata (Venice, 1853) Question= Roger Parker, a leading scholar, has called this opera ‘in many senses, [Verdi’s] most “realistic” drama’. Write a detailed commentary on the whole passage excerpted in this track, linking the predicament of the protagonist to Verdi’s original working title for the opera. How would you describe the shifting relationship between “romanticism” and “realism” throughout the opera? We focused on these acts/scenes in class: Example 1: Act I finale: “Ah fors’e? lui che l’anima” (Violetta’s “love” aira) Example 2: Act III, scene four, “Addio, del passato” (Violetta’s “death” aira) Example 3: Act III finale: “Prendi, quest e? l’immagine”
