Gelinas, Douglas; Haynes, Julian
Journal of College Science Teaching, v12 n1 p25-27 Sep-Oct 1982
An instructional system at the University of Maine (Orono) was developed to address problems unique to this institution. The system consists of biology instructional modules, variable pacing through computer-generated examinations, and variable credit. Although lectures were initially eliminated, they were reinitiated to motivate students and help them pace their study. (Author/JN)
