A program called PROBLEM is detailed. It is a framework program built around a module structure that helps to make the development of computer-supervised drill much more manageable. It is viewed as an efficient approach in substantial areas of instruction in science and engineering. The material is entirely written in BASIC. (MP)

TESTOR is a computer-assisted testing system that provides student evaluation while simultaneously managing all records associated with a program of individualized instruction. Use of TESTOR in a general biology program, at the University of Missouri, is described. (JN)

Describes the use of computer courseware in an undergraduate chemistry curriculum for (1) a tutorial program, (2) a computer assisted test construction (CATC) system, (3) a set of simulation and data reduction programs, (4) a "Numerical Methods in Chemistry" course, and (5) a library of computer managed instruction (CMI) programs. (JL)

Advantages and disadvantages of microcomputer use are noted. Computer managed and assisted instruction are discussed, followed by guidelines for software and microcomputer selection. Uses of CAI in the science curriculum are noted: simulation, modeling, gaming, drills, and tutorials. Finally, a project to disseminate instructional materials in…

Part 1 (SE 533 635) presented programs for use in mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry. This part presents an annotated list of 64 additional programs, focusing on introductory geology, mapping, and statistical packages for geological analyses. A brief description, source, suggested use(s), programing language, and other information are…

Twenty-five outstanding new computer software programs for drill and practice, simulation, and tutoring are reviewed. Programs deal with classroom management and with the teaching of language arts, computer literacy, social studies, science and logic, and mathematics. (PP)

Describes two approaches of assuring adequate student laboratory preparation by means of computerized, prelab quizzes. One, designed for the Apple microcomputer for introductory chemistry, is available on diskette from the authors. The other, for organic chemistry, is done on a time-shared system. Additional information on this program is…
