| Popis: | The teaching of introductory physics courses to large groups of students has been conducted in the past by the use of large lecture halls. Problems that arise in such situations are numerous, some of the major ones being (1) making equipment large enough to be seen by everyone, (2) finding storage space for much large equipment, (3) keeping the lecture hall free of students for one whole period to provide ample time for setting up demonstrations, etc. Methods for solving these problems are presented here. By building three lecture room fronts on a single turntable, two complete lecture periods become available for setup time. Roll-in tables are not satisfactory. By using TV cameras with TV monitors suspended from the ceiling, demonstrations can be made clearly visible to everyone. An alternate solution, and in many respects the best one, is to develop several TV studio areas, use TV methods entirely, and by closed circuit transmission to monitors in small classrooms, reach students in groups of twenty-five or thirty. A teaching assistant in each of these rooms is then available for more intimate discussions. |
