For those wishing to take a formally structured undergraduate university semester-length course, this is the Fall offering for principles of radiation astronomy.

General course details may be found at the Syllabus.

Student participation

For the period 8/17 to 9/16/2014, a minimum of 20 unregistered students is viewing or reading each resource in the fall presentation of the course. A maximum number of 1126 hit the radiation astronomy keynote lecture of 9/8/2014. This assumes each student hit the resource only once during the period.

Radiation astronomy, which has no direct comparison on Wikipedia, had 2,123 for the period. This is comparable to a special astronomy on Wikipedia, see below.

As a cross-wiki comparison,

  1. X-ray astronomy on Wikipedia had 3,315 hits versus 172-193,
  2. Astronomy had 362-368 versus Astronomy on Wikipedia had 51,445-54,120,
  3. Ultraviolet astronomy had 1,256-1,288 on Wikipedia versus 181-198 on Wikiversity,
  4. Gamma-ray astronomy 1,967-1,857 on Wikipedia versus 285-292,
  5. Astrophysics 27,988-26,607 on Wikipedia versus 164-165, and
  6. Planetary science 4,377-4,237 on Wikipedia versus 168-174.

Alternate examinations that may be used by your college or university for credit (and a grade) in this course will be available from Wikiversity by courier for closed, proctored session testing of proficiency.

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. By subpaging as many of the resources in this course as possible under radiation astronomy the overall popularity of the course, or resource set, can be compared with other resource sets here at Wikiversity.

Control groups

This is an image of a Lewis rat. Credit: Charles River Laboratories.

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[5]
