Describes a course that introduces basic chemical principles using forensic chemistry topics. Provides a course outline and details on course content. (MLH)

Describes a physics course designed to relate to people with interests in fields not closely associated with physics. Guidelines are suggested for teachers who are developing similar courses. (Author/DF)

A course investigating the relationship of scientist to humanity as well as science is described. Student reactions to the initial offering are presented with the possible role of the course in science education. (Author/DF)

A course is described, which was given during an interim, with an enrollment of 41 students. The course involved an in-depth study of forensic science, involving students with the methodology of science. (DF)

Describes a course emphasizing the conceptual and philosophical basis of modern physics for upper division liberal arts students. The method of teaching leans heavily on modern visual aids and lecture demonstration. (Author/DF)

A one-quarter, noncalculus, no-laboratory course entitled Aims and Rules in Physics'' is reported. The student population ranges from humanities freshmen to physics seniors. The course analyzes a few discoveries and inventions of prerelativistic physics in the light of physicists' and philosophers' views. (Author/DF)

Individualized instruction similar to the Keller plan with two additional features: (1) student freedom in selecting his own procedure for mastering the course material; (2) some variety in topics studied by each student. Describes two successful trials of this plan in an atomic physics course at MIT. (Author/DF)

A discussion is presented with the following purposes: (1) to evaluate the types of students desiring and/or needing to study this course; (2) to evaluate the type of course that can be designed for them; (3) to describe a course developed for the needs of both geology and liberal arts students; and (4) to share the ideas and experiences of the…

A course is presented with emphasis on physical chemistry, problem solving, and instrumental methods of analysis, with an attempt to relate chemical principles with engineering concepts. (DF)

Instruction is presented involving a combination of straight'' physics but includes discussions of problems involving science and society based on journal, magazine, newspaper articles, and some books. A major goal is to eliminate negative attitudes toward science. According to an evaluation survey of students before and after the course, this is…

A new required course for freshmen including participating seniors and industrial consultants in presenting and evaluating actual creative design problems facing their industry is put together with a creative engineering design project. Student responses were positive and enthusiastic. (DF)

Describes a two-hour laboratory course entitled "Chemical Periodicity offered first semester of the freshman year. Three cation groups, one anion group, and a final unkown salt are qualitatively analyzed. Course fosters scientific thinking in experimentation by encouraging student-initiated schemes of analyses rather than "cookbook schemes. (RR)
