Peer reviewedRoche, Victoria F. – American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, 1990
An algorithm presenting questions allowing prediction of the major type of biological activity elicited by a steroid hormone structure is designed to help students organize their approach to the interpretation of the complex structures and permit independent application of logical thought processes in pharmacological identification of other drug…

Peer reviewedGray, John S. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1998
Describes use of the little-known Shuttle Puzzle in computer programming to elucidate the process of analyzing a problem and synthesizing observations into an algorithm that can be used to generate a programming solution. The process used to solve the problem reflects one that an expert uses. The method could be adapted for small-group cooperative…
