\subsection{An integrated approach to learning outcomes across the major}  Because AST~208 is the gateway course for astrophysics majors, it provides an opportunity to develop some introduce  core skills that can be are  developed further in the junior/senior level upper-level  courses AST~304 and AST~308.
