I've decided to NOT make Chapter 17 (Active Galaxies and Quasars) mandatory reading. There is just too much that I'd like to cover about cosmology (the size, shape, age, and evolution of the Universe) in Chapters 18 and 19. As you'll notice, Homework #5 doesn't have any questions from Chapter 17, and you will not be required to know the details of Chapter 17 for the final exam.
So the current plan is to cover Chapters 18 and 19 on Thursday, Monday, and Tuesday, and leave Wednesday open so that you can ask me questions before the final exam. The second half of this class has been much more complicated and information heavy than the first half, so don't be afraid to come to the discussion sections or even ask questions in class to make sure you have an understanding of the main topics.
