It is a Psychology course in which students that have already shown proficiency in the General Psychology are working as proctors to students currently taking the course. The advantage of this type of course is that large groups of students can be handled at one time, yet individual attention can be given to each student. I was awarded my B.S. and M.S. degrees from Illinois State University. I am working on my Ph.D. in behavior modification at Southern Illinois University. I joined the staff in 1968. we ff ...ny M

MATHEMATICS Doug Sergeant flnstructorj Life is not a 'static process', why should education be so? To understand my philosophy of education, one must first be aware of my twofold definition of the term. First, I feel that education should help you become a more responsible person, a person who is able to recognize his responsibilities to propagate our society. In my teaching field, Mathematics, I am constantly seeking answers to various problem-situations whose solutions are arrived at by a sequential process. I feel mathematics should be taught for various sequences or patterns, which should be studied, in the hope, that the student will discover a process that will work for him when dealing with problem-situations in life. Once the onosphere fmindl has been trained to analytically solve problems, it will go through these processes automatically if allowed to do so. 20 John E. Bonebrake fAssistant Professor!
