\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 introduce core skills that are developed further in the upper-level courses AST~304 and AST~308. In brief, AST~208 covers statistics and introduces the students to numerical computation; AST~304 focuses on computational problem solving; and AST~308 incorporates learning  the use of astronomical databases to retrieve source and catalog information.
