TMTRODUCIMcS SCOTT— □ PRESENTING SCOTT R. JENSON-Scott’s daily sophomore schedule reveals a demanding course of study designed to prepare him for college entrance. While pursuing the traditionally required courses, world studies, physical education, and English, Scott also studied French, biology, and accelerated math. As a biology student, Scott was one of the first to benefit from open lab, a program of limited independent study in the sciences. Scott’s first impressions of modular scheduling were that most students didn’t use their free time effectively and that the teacher-dominated class still survived. Modular Scheduling gives me time to get to know a lot more kids and take a lot more courses than I could usually,” he said. 12
