Courses on astronomy and astrophysics introduce a large number of concepts to students. These concepts sometimes seem very disparate and unconnected. I have been experimenting with making problems from recent research papers by breaking these into small modules to illustrate how different aspects come together in practice. This also brings undergraduate students in direct contact with ongoing research. I will illustrate this point by showing a few examples from courses taught in last few years.
