\subsection{Synchronization of lecture and lab topics}  \label{s.synchronicity}  AST 208 was formed by merger of  a laboratory observing course with a lecture-based course on planetary science. This merger was done to use available faculty hours efficiently; it poses, however, a dilemma on how efficiently. The revisions  toraise the level of instruction in either component given  the small number of contact hours per week for both lecture and lab. In particular, lab (\S~\ref{s.encounters-with-data}), especially  the use of current and archival observatory data in the lab, as described in \ref{s.encounters-with-data}, requires ``real'' data, demand  a more rigorous treatment of statistics. To reinforce statistics and therefore a tighter integration of the course lectures with  the lab activities, activities. To do this,  we converted the first part half  of the course lectures  into a more general discussion of astronomy and statistics. As motivation, we introduce these concepts in the context of detecting exoplanets; this ties the introductory material to the treatment of planetary science in the latter half of the course.
