Grouping Of Commonality Courses, Dan Brobst

Graduate Research Papers

This study is designed to identify contributing variables, for and against, the practice of grouping of commonality courses on a postsecondary level. More specifically, the purpose of this study is:

1. to serve as a study to determine the interest in the grouping of commonality courses.

2. to obtain current opinions from literature concerned with the grouping of commonality courses.

3. to determine attitudes toward the practice of grouping through interview and questionnaires.

4. to determine attitudes toward the practice of grouping from review of related literature.

Institutionalization: Trauma And Deliverance, Clemens Bartollas

Faculty Work

The question of how one person can most effectively touch the life of another in a positive way is a significant one, especially for those whose mission is to increase the Kingdom of God. Drawing on extensive experience with juvenile delinquents and on his own scholarly research, Clemens Bartollas addresses himself to precisely this problem. In a sociological perspective, he raises a number of fascinating questions about interpersonal relations, and suggests a model for Christian action.

Computer Aided Structural Analysis: The Finite Element Method, Richard T. Ryner

Graduate Research Papers

The design process is a complex and tedious one. Within it, the task of design verification appears to require the lion's share of time, effort, and money involved.

The design formulation activity requires creative people, placed in an environment where they are able to formulate ideas which eventually become the manufactured products of an organization. This task takes up comparatively little of the time and effort of the design cycle. Therefore, it would appear that the greatest savings could be made in the design analysis task. Further, if these savings can be made earlier in the design cycle, in the …

Integrated Circuits, Julio Garcia

Graduate Research Papers

The technology of integrated circuits is_ almost new in Peru, writer's country-. It is being used mainly in black and white television sets and in some audio amplifier equipment. As any new technology, first, it is necessary to be very familiar with it in order to exploit it adequately and get all the benefits from it. The writer feels this lack of knowledge, and wants to take advantage of being here to learn the technology and techniques for using integrated circuits.

Exotic Food From Fermented Milk, Robert C. Goss

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Whether prepared or bought at the market, yogurt is a dairy product made from milk -- cow, mare, sow, goat, buffalo, etc. Bacteria cultures of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus are added to the milk with the result that the milk sugar is split into lactic acid. The casein, lactalbumin and milk proteins are broken down into peptones and amino acids. Finished yogurt has about 200,000,000 bacteria per ml and is rich in the vitamin B complex. Yogurt making is a manifestation of microbial ecology.

Dirty Books

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

School books are notorious carriers of potentially dangerous bacteria. Books that are handed on to children in one class to their successors in the next year pose a considerable health hazard, according to the Institute for Educational Media, Frankfurt, Germany.

The Christmas Experiment, Glen Loveridge

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

What will you be doing with your class the last periods before the Christmas break? If you have a strong digestive system, try this production of foamy peanut brittle. It was first suggested in the Journal of Chemical Education, August 1972, by Richard C. Adams of Pleasant Hill High School, Pleasant Hill, Oregon 97401. However, the outline given was for a 90-minute lab, and I have modified it for a 40-minute lab. I have found that with my modifications, all of my students - good or poor - can do this lab.

Thanks, I Needed That!, Stanley D. Whelchel

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Each year, when high school students register for their next year's schedule of classes, the guidance counselors and teachers of science and mathematics hear the statement, "I don't need science or mathematics for what I plan to do after I graduate." It seems almost impossible to change their minds. One usually says, "You will need it when you get to college or to technical school." But this statement usually falls upon deaf ears because students have made up their minds that in the fields of work to which they aspire they will not need any additional mathematics or science. Besides, …

This fall skies will be dominated by the planet Jupiter. During October and November Jupiter will be rising near sunset and will be visible nearly all night. An interesting activity for beginning students of astronomy is to identify Jupiter's four brightest moons.

Mobile Career Exploration, Steve Halstead

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In 1970, the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) began a program on its Ankeny campus known as Career Exploration. The idea was to allow people to explore a career by performing representative work samples. For example, a person exploring Medical Laboratory work would have the opportunity to do blood typing, prepare slides, do urinalysis, and prepare smear cultures. These experiences coupled with information about training requirements, job prospects, and salaries, provided a background on which a career decision could be based.

A Checklist In Science Education For Evaluating Student Teaching, James J. Hungerford

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Have you noticed how little some cooperating teachers let their student teachers do? If "learning is by doing," a lot of student teachers aren't learning very much. I've seen student teachers teach only one or two weeks out of nine. Student teachers and supervisors should have a common checklist of activities that they can include as part of the student teaching experience. This may help the teacher who lectures frequently to do something besides talk. The aim would_ be mutual improvement and increased competence.
