\end{quote}  Traditionally the lecture focused on planetary science and the lab focused on observing. We felt that a tighter integration of the lecture and lab would serve the students better.  \subsection{Integration of skills over the astronomy major} \subsection{An integrated approach to learning outcomes}  Because AST 208 is the gateway into the astronomy major, it provides an opportunity to develop some core skills that can be developed further in the junior/senior level courses AST 304, \emph{Stars}, and AST 308, \emph{Galaxies}. In general, AST 208 covers statistics and introduces the students to numerical computation. AST 304 focuses on computational problem solving, and AST 308 includes the use of large databases.
