Presents a simulation model approach to the study of evolution. This model combines both practical and theoretical aspects of evolutionary biology course work. The author has used laboratory hardware for this simulation with 20 working groups of students. (HM)

A review of topics and undergraduate programs in physics with medical applications at Queen Elizabeth College, London, is given. (MDR)

Describes a computer assisted instruction project, used with a basic chemistry course, to increase student understanding of chemical concepts. The project has two sub-systems: Student Response, and Independent Laboratory, together with two modes for evaluation, an "Opinion" mode and a "Quiz" mode. (GA)
