Presents a brief description of a study done to assess the impact of the use of calculators during examination, showing that the use of the instruments did play a major role in chemistry grade determination. (EB)

Describes the duties assigned to the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974; also outlines the roles to be played by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Energy Administration (FEA). (Author/EB)

Describes the laboratory portion of a biology course which has been changed to incorporate a self-paced concept allowing students to attend the laboratory at their own convenience. (EB)

Presents a description of the development and use of a revised two-semester introductory organic chemistry course. (EB)

Describes some initial efforts being made to provide students in the allied health sciences with both inter-pathway mobility and upward mobility in their education and careers. Presents problems with the present system, three approaches to dealing with those problems, and developments in the area of core curricula. (GS)

Describes a chemistry curriculum for college freshmen that uses laboratory study of the chemical composition of meals eaten by students as the central activity from which theoretical and practical learning are derived. Presents a meal analysis flow diagram and a table of concepts included in the program. (GS)

Presents general attitudes of one sample of students toward science, their opinions as to why more students do not take physics as an elective, and student attitudes toward two physical science courses for nonscience majors. (GS)

Describes a course in introductory biology which utilized a teaching strategy emphasizing process rather than content. The strategy involved team teaching and a research paper/laboratory technique involving the students in decision making and the processes of scientific method. (GS)

Describes a course that uses the Ft. Calhoun nuclear power plant as a case study. The course involves three component parts: physics of fission events, engineering requirements, and economic considerations; environmental impact from radiation and thermal effluents; and the impact of social, political and legal factors. (GS)

Describes a course entitled "Literature of the Oceans" designed to stimulate student interest in science and acquaint them with sources of information that they might consult in the future. (GS)

Explains the use of cassette tapes of discussions on problems included in a chemistry course. The student is aided in converting the sentence form of a problem to the symbolism of mathematics. (GS)
