1n Team Teaehin Much preparation went into re- search and visual aids to give the stu- dents an all-round understanding of the present situation. After the week of lectures in the auditorium, each teacher took his class hack to the in- dividual rooms for a day of questions and discussion. Then everyone was given a test made out by the teachers who did not lecture. Students were asked to write an opinion and to give criticism. In the opinion of most of . the students and the teachers, the jim X program was a success. ,S l l l l l No time for chatter as Mr. Baker lecturesg just listen and take notes.
