Peer reviewedSoxman, Kenneth A. – Physics Teacher, 1972
Descriptors: College Science, Course Descriptions, Curriculum Development, Instruction
Peer reviewedBerke, Muriel – Physics Teacher, 1973
Increasing physics enrollment is attributed to student interest in the course that is conducted in an informal atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on laboratory experience with open-ended experiments and problem sessions conducted with small groups. Group instruction and optional research in selected scientific areas are also included. (DF)
