strates the accuracy of the computer Students Encounter Problem In ATHEMATICS is being unified rather than fragmented into small course divisions such as algebra or geometry. The concept ideas are taught at all levelsof learning, according to the abilities and the goals of the individual students. Teachers arrange course materials and use of class items to satisfy the student's personal requirements. There is much individual coaching and small group activity within the classes. The in- structors in the math department meet regularly to pool the results of their continued study of materials and methods. This way they make every effort to keep up with the changing needs of the students in the field of mathematics. N past times there was little attempt to differentiate be- tween the sciences. for scientific knowledge was limited. Today, however, this knowledge has beenggreatly broadened and Lincoln shares in some of these practices. In biology, large group presentations were stressed. Four classes met at once to view films and take examinations. These classes were broken down for laboratory work and discussion. The chemistry courses were designed by a group of leading college and high school teachers, They felt that the concepts of science can be more easily grasped through laboratory experimentation. It was the first time the course was used at Lincoln. The physics course has been offered to the enriched physics sections and one regular class. lt was the first of the modern science curri- cula courses. Emphasis is placed on student discovery and development of concepts, rather than the traditional learning of the concept and testing of it in the laboratory work. In addition to the science classes, the project room was available for stu- dents to work on projects during their study periods. Students explore the basic concepts of math in the math ofiice Kevin Hollenbeck demon- 24
