The first part of this publication is a study of students' math skills and logical abilities and their success in an introductory college chemistry course. A 29-item instrument was developed and administered to 343 students. Test scores for students who received either A or B in the course were compared with scores for those who received either D…

This report describes three innovative instructional programs which have demonstrated that carefully designed non-traditional instruction can have a positive influence upon student performance. The programs are the mathematics program of the Clearwater Campus of St. Petersburg Junior College, the biology program of Miles College, and the chemistry…

Included in this publication are 20 papers related to teaching chemistry in two-year colleges. The papers are presented under the following categories: Innovative Teaching; Allied Health; Chemistry as a Career; Chemical Technology; and Chemistry for Non-Science Majors. Most of the papers were presented at two meetings (Regina and Houston). (RH)

Describes an experiment in which luminescence is observed during a reaction between sodium borohydride and trisbipyridalruthenium (III). Includes a discussion of the theory of chemiluminescence. (MLH)

Describes a publication designed to serve as a statistical base from which various groups can develop policy recommendations on chemical manpower. This new series will be the first official effort by the society to compile, correlate, and present all data relevant to the economic status of chemists. (Author/GS)

Describes a computer program which permits students to check their calculations while they are still in the laboratory by entering their raw data and calculated results via a teletype terminal situated in the lab. The input is examined and the student is informed of the nature of each error. (MLH)

Describes the use of videotapes to eliminate or shorten in-lab instruction and prevent interruption of a laboratory session with additional or forgotten instruction. Lists equipment needed for videotape programs and for a thirteen unit audio-visual laboratory. (GS)
