Rutgers University Angelina Romano M.A. Montclair State College As always, Science is taught to help students with their voca- tional and avocational needs. However, the department feels that methods must always change to keep the subject relevant. This year, more General Biology and Chemistry courses have been offered than ever before due to the trend of students to shy away from the college preparatory courses. Although the Gen- eral courses in the past have been considered less burdensome, they have now been enriched to give the student a more com- plete science program. A number of graduation awards are given for Biology and Chemistry. These include: the Bausch and Lomb Medal; the Chemistry Award; the Biology Club $100 award, based upon the highest scholastic average in science, and the Faculty Award of $10 to a deserving student. 27

Students are supplied with practi- cal experience in a shop setting through individual instruction and pro- jects. This year brought a complete revision of the courses in terms of beha- vioral objectives as well as reevaluation of the course of study in each shop itself. Specific programs such as notebook tests and “mock ups” of home plumbing and electrical systems have also been implemented to make students more involved in their vocations. Girls have also been given recognition of their aptitude in these fields.
