Presented is an assessment of the restructuring of a college freshman physics course. Details of the organization of the lab activities, grouping of the students, and strengths and weaknesses of the arrangements are discussed. (DS)

Discusses the philosophy and organization of an introductory college physics course that emphasizes laboratory experiments. Also presents a brief outline of the laboratory work. (MLH)

Describes an introductory laboratory physics course covering dynamics, fields, and waves. The course involves six hourrs of laboratory work and six hours of self-study every two weeks. Understanding concepts rather than laboratory techniques is stressed. (MLH)

Describes a laboratory teaching technique in which a single topic (in this case, bipolar junction transistors) is studied over a period of weeks under the supervision of one staff member, who also designs the laboratory work. (MLH)

Reviews experiments performed in a mobile spectroscopy laboratory. (SL)

Describes the use of an interactive computer terminal for introductory laboratory experiments. (SL)
