Uses of Zenith Z-100 microcomputers by chemistry students at Clarkson College are discussed. These include: (1) programing; (2) word processing; (3) numerical methods, statistical/plotting programs; (4) laboratory data acquisition and manipulation; (5) simulations; (6) computer assisted instruction; and (7) computer managed instruction. (JN)

Presents seven papers on computer applications in chemical education. Topics include current status and future of teaching with microcomputers, improving undergraduate experiments with online microcomputers, chemistry's mathematical models with computer simulations, computer uses in freshmen chemistry (tutorial-drill programs, laboratory…

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…

Explains a discipline that requires students to become problem solvers in agronomic and pest areas using computer-simulated models. Describes the seven programing areas. The program is written in BASIC totaling 182K bytes for use with MS-DOS 2.0 or an IBM PC requiring 256 K RAM, color monitor, and card. Lists availability. (RT)

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…
