A partial solution to the problem of choosing what to teach from the vast amount of subject matter was achieved by combining the philosophies of the audio-tutorial approach and the concept-pak approach. (DF)

Describes a nonmathematical course in quantitative methods to train bioscience students to formulate problems directly in the programing language and to use the programs so developed to analyze the implication of the hypotheses. (GA)

Reports on an investigation of self-pacing in an undergraduate personality course taught by the Keller method. Results indicate that grade point average is related to rate of progress, but that even the weaker students can achieve mastery. (GS)

An introductory course is designed with relevance for directly instilling into the students a sense of the unity and coherence of chemical ideas. The sequence also has the flavor'' of a research project. (DF)
