Describes an introductory course that does not presuppose newtonian mechanics. Presents a course outline and discusses the treatment of five major topics including relativistic kinematics and the derivation of the Lorentz transformation. (GS)

Describes some of the difficulties that arise when a course is transferred from one teacher to another and relates some experiences in the transfer of a self paced physics course. (GS)

Discusses implementation of a conceptual physics course with emphases upon aspects of acoustics. Includes an outline of the syllabus used. (CC)

Describes an experimental biochemistry course designed to teach basic biochemical techniques using an unstudied enzyme as the experimental material. Explains the schedule of experiments designed for the course and lists the sources used. (GS)

Describes the use of bio-medically significant materials to teach a self-pacing chemistry laboratory course to nursing majors. Indicates that the student can learn from the course to determine values of body fluid constituents, about their variations among healthy populations, and about difficulties inherent in making such measurements. (CC)

Discusses the offering of a course in chemical and industrial hazards for junior and senior chemistry majors at City College of New York in 1972. Suggests inclusion of laboratory and industrial safety education as a formal part of chemistry or science curricula. (CC)

Outlines a one-semester course on Physics of the Environment'' which is designed for physics and nonphysics majors with a one-semester physics prerequisite. Indicates that the students are content to learn about the environment thoroughly rather than a course concentrating on pollution. (CC)

The first part of this curriculum guide for a college-level general chemistry course includes: (1) a list of 28 lectures/lessons with topic titles and content divisions; (2) behavioral objectives related to specific lessons; (3) a list of laboratory activities and objectives; (4) a course overview and syllabus for spring semester 1981; and (5) a…

This volume is a report of the development of the first course in a two-semester sequence in Electronic Communications, for a new degree program in Electric Engineering Technology at Valencia Community College, Orlando, Florida.
