Code Review Presentations — two individual open source package reviews, each worth 5% of the course grade.
Project 1 — transit models and stellar properties.
Project 2 — numerical integration, convergence, and limb-darkened transits.
Project 3 — root finding, orbital geometry, transit contacts, and stellar temperature zones.
Project 3 Science Background — supporting physics and diagrams; no additional submission.
Project 4 — ODE validation, planetary interiors, and mass–radius models with NASA observations.
Growth Reflections — individual reflection prompts and submission expectations.
Grading — weights, scale, and submission guidance.
Final Project and Proposal Pitch — current requirements in the syllabus.
