The TV classes are conducted
in three different ways. In one,
the en ti r e course is presented
over television, with the instruc
tion originating in one room and
being televised to a number of
Viewing rooms.
In another, lectures are tele

are supplemented by small reci

A talk-back system is used in
many of the televised courses.
This enables the students to ask
questions to the instructors. One
of the earliest complaints from

not allow questions to be put
to the instructor.

If a student has a question to
ask, he presses a' button on a
microphone and this flashes a
light in front of the professor.
He can acknowledge the ques
tion by pushing in a button, al
lowing the student to-speak.
The question and the answer
are heard by all students.
The system was worked up at
the University.
Some of the advantages of tele
vised classes, according to edu
cators, are:
•It is a partial answer to the
increasing shortage of professors,
as well as shortage of small class
rooms.
•It enables more students to
schedule a top professor who is
recognized as an expert in his
field.
•It gives everyone a front-row
seat.
•Demonstrations and char ts
can be made more effective.

spend $1.3 million on rolling stock
