\subsection{An integrated approach to learning outcomes across the major}  Because AST 208 AST~208  is the gateway course for astrophysics majors, it provides an opportunity to develop some core skills that can be developed further in the junior/senior level courses AST 304 AST~304  and AST 308. AST~308.  In brief, AST 208 AST~208  covers statistics and introduces the students to numerical computation; AST 304 AST~304  focuses on computational problem solving; and AST 308 AST~308  incorporates the use of large databases.
