The pamphlet focused first on questions concerned with the relative ability of deaf and hearing students to visually process words when presented letter by letter, and with relationships existing among deaf students between the ability to process words presented tachistoscopically, letter by letter, and the ability of the same student to process…

Reports on the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) physics department. Surveys the philosophy and objectives of the program, its organization, rules, funding, growth, atmosphere, problems, and accomplishments. (Author/CP)

Describes a no lecture, laboratory oriented approach to the teaching of the Tech Physics Project. Evaluates success of this approach and identifies alternative formats which have been used in instances in which students needed a more structured mode of presentation. (CP)

Presents a table, based on the MLA's Fall 1974 Survey of Foreign Language Registrations in U.S. Colleges and Universities, showing national enrollment totals for 109 languages. The table includes figures for both undergraduate and graduate enrollment, and shows the amount of change between 1972 and 1974. (DB)

Describes an activity which incorporates topographic map interpretation, soils analysis, hydrogeology, and local geology in a five-week series of exercises for an introductory college earth science class. (CP)

Reports on an undergraduate earth science course for non-science majors structured around five-week minicourses. Evaluates student and teacher response to the program. (CP)

Provides an account of the way in which one small university has coped with limited funds and a small staff to provide laboratory activities for freshman physics courses. (CP)

Provides the outline of an introductory college-level physics course which combines astronomy, astrophysics, relativity and communications with a study of civilizations and the conditions necessary for life. Student comments and an informal evaluation of the course are included. (CP)

Describes three dialog programs which have been used in introductory astronomy classes. The magnitude system, Kepler's third law, and the scientific method are the program topics. (CP)

Contends that a university history of psychology course demonstrates its close link with other disciplines and its approach to understanding human thought and action. Suggests methods such as lectures, anecdotes, slides, oral interviews, and field trips to accomplish objectives. (KC)

Harvard University and other institutions of higher education are reappraising their curriculum in order to recapture the intellectual values that underlie the classic liberal arts program. Simultaneously these schools are attempting to make their curriculum more relevant to social needs so that their students can cope in a competitive, highly…

The modular degree program in physics at Oxford Polytechnic is described. This program allows for a combination of physics with other undergraduate study areas. (MDR)

A colorimetric procedure for the determination of serum iron for use in freshmen and sophomore level quantitative analysis laboratories is described. (CP)

A contrastive treatment of texts with some common thematic material but by different authors is discussed. The tales, Hoffmann's "Der Goldene Topf" and Eichendorff's "Das Marmorbild" are suited for a third- or fourth-year undergraduate literature survey course. The comparative method can be applied to all genres. (SW)
