It is argued that there is a fundamental difference in the perception of the nature of man on the part of humanistic critics and traditional experimental social psychologists which leads to different assessments of the long-term effects of deception research on subjects. (Author/AM)

The author discusses the level of mathematics needed in biomedical technology programs. Technical institutes and community colleges across the country have varying math requirements, from first-year college algebra on into calculus. He suggests a study to determine the reasons for the variance, leading eventually to uniform quality. (MF)

Seven groups of activities related to the metric system are outlined. Each group is to be done at a laboratory station in the classroom. (SD)

Describes a simple water channel, for use with an overhead projector. It is run from a water tap and may be used for flow visualization experiments, including the effect of streamlining and elementary building aerodynamics. (MLH)

A computerized patient profile system is used in a practice laboratory taught in a pharmacy student's fourth year. Exposure to both a manual family card system and the computerized individual profile system allows the student to achieve a level of competence and confidence with more than one system in monitoring and evaluating the ambulatory…

The process of involving social work graduate students specializing in planning and administration in the design of management simulations is described. Focus is on the integrative capacity of the simulation to combine knowledge and skills acquired in both classroom and practicum experience, and a detailed description of a student guide to…

Presents an organic chemistry experiment consisting of a two step reaction sequence involving the Grignard synthesis of an alcohol followed by its oxidation to ketone. (SL)

Describes a physical chemistry experiment investigating the vapor-liquid equilibrium in a heterogeneous system. (SL)

Describes a nuclear magnetic resonance experimental example of spin tickling; also discusses a direct approach for verifying the relative signs of coupling constants in three-spin cyclopropyl systems. (SL)

Describes an experimental method of measuring the molecular weight and subunit corporation of an oligomeric protein. (SL)

An integrated physical-analytical-inorganic chemistry laboratory procedure for use with undergraduate biology majors is described. The procedure requires five to six laboratory periods and includes acid-base standardizations, potentiometric determinations, computer usage, spectrophotometric determinations of crystal-field splitting…

Describes a procedure to demonstrate the effect of a magnetic force on a moving charge. The materials used are inexpensive and with the use of an overhead projector, easily visible to an entire class. (CP)

Describes various simple methods of estimating 2V in thin sections which do not require specialized equipment. (SL)

Describes a geology laboratory exercise involving weathering and topographic maps which allows students to put knowledge to practical application. (SL)

Discusses safety aspects of the new chemistry building being built at the University of Akron. (SL)
