\subsection{Synchronization of lecture discussions and lab activities}  \label{s.synchronicity} %\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; in practice the lecture and lab continued to operate as independent courses. Recent revisions to the lab (\S~\ref{s.encounters-with-data}), especially the use of ``real'' data, demand a more rigorous treatment of statistics, however, and therefore a tighter integration of the course lectures with the lab activities. To do this, we converted the first 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.
