Michigan State University (MSU) serves a large and diverse student population, ∼ 1000 of whom take the astronomy course for non-science majors each year. Significant resources are also invested in the related astronomy lab, enrolling about half the lecture students. Although this lab is optional, the students are required to complete one lab course for their degree. In the fall of 1995, we undertook an extensive assessment of student learning in these astronomy courses.
