Briefly discusses historical attitudes toward the divergence between the arts and sciences; describes a team-taught course in the literature of technology. (MLH)

Discusses a course designed for large numbers of underprepared chemistry students at a large metropolitan university; an evaluation of the course based on student performance in succeeding courses is included. (MLH)

Discusses the concept of educational efficiency of instructional methods, and suggests that although lab reports are effective learning tools, they are inefficient as an evaluation method. (MLH)

Describes an experiment in which students answer a set of questions about the structure of a simple molecule given the computer output of a Patterson map obtained by X-ray diffraction. (MLH)

Describes an advanced inorganic chemistry experiment in which students prepare two coordination compounds and study their stereochemistry using infrared spectroscopy. (MLH)

Describes a kinetic simulation computer program that generates experimental data for use in an instructional program on the design of experiments and the analysis of results. (MLH)

Describes a kinetics experiment in which the student measures both a second-order rate constant and an overall third-order rate constant for the oxidation of benzoin to benzil in an alkaline medium. (MLH)

Describes an experiment involving the oxidation of aromatic primary amines to the corresponding azo compound; suggests procedures for studying factors that influence the yield of such a reaction, including the choice of solvent and the oxidant-amine ratio. (MLH)

Discusses the feasibility of analytical experiments that use only spot plates and eye droppers, thus allowing quantitative experiments to be performed with quantitites limited to several milliliters per student. (MLH)

Describes an experiment that involves the synthesis of copper (II) aspirinate and the analysis of copper content in the product using electrogravimetric, spectrophotometric, and titrimetric methods. (MLH)

Presents short articles on computer-generated exams, paper chromatography of carbohydrates, and the use of innovative teaching methods in non-traditional courses. (MLH)

Describes an experiment in which chemical interferences in atomic absorption analyses are examined and measured. (MLH)

Provides background leading to a reorganization of the environmental health and safety program at the University of Florida; describes the reorganized program, and discusses experiences from the first year of operation. (MLH)

Describes instruments for the quantitative measurement of radioactively tagged organic and biological molecules used as tracers. (MLH)

Describes a lecture teaching technique called lap-dissolve projection in which two slide projectors are operated alternately so that one visual image fades away while the next appears on the same screen area. (MLH)
