Reis, Richard M. – 1972
This study arose out of a concern for the type of college science courses being offered to non-science majors. Of particular concern is the traditional method of laboratory instruction, with its emphasis on specific techniques and instrument manipulations rather than promoting an understanding of the processes, concepts, and methods of…

Hudson, H. T. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1981
Large lecture sections of science staffed by a single instructor make it impossible to provide individual student attention and lead to high dropout and failure rates. Daily assignments are used to encourage students to identify areas that need remediation, maintain a steady study pace, receive positive reinforcement, and learn methods of solving…
