Television Courses
Carpenter, professor and head of
the department of psychology,
and Dr. W. Conard Ferfielius,
profesior of chemistry and acting
dean of the College of Chemistry
and Physics.
The television study, sponiored
by the Fund for the Advance
ment of Education, consisted of
the teaching of courses in general
psychology, general chemistry,
and the psychology of marriage.
New Courses Offered
This semester seven new
courses will be televised, as well
as the three courses taught last
semester. They area introduction
to economics, principles of eco
nomics, music appreciation,
fundamental principles of speech,
air science, elementary business
law, and elementary accounting.
"The purpose of the study thus
far," Dr. Carpenter said, "was to
examine the effectiveness of un
modified or conventional courses
when taught for a full semester
over closed-circuit television us
ing moderate cost equipment as
compared with the same instruc
tion given in the usual manner."
• Courses Were 'Routine'
Students taking last semester's
televised courses appeared to ac
cept the instruction as routine,
according. to , Dr. Carpenter, He
said most students fe 1 t they
learned about the same in these
classes as they would have other
wise.
Two common complaints from
the students were that they did
not get to know their instructors
personally and they missed - the
opportunity to ask questiong.
It was noted by observers; ac
cording to Dr. Carpenter, that
students in the rooms where-the
telecasts originated• asked many
of the questions other students
were thinking' of.
The courses were televised
from rooms occupied by students
