The Huron Expositor, 1976-11-25, Page 14Waterloo has pioneered the taped lecture system in its correspondence program. No other university in Capada had tried tapes until 1968 when UW began sending them out to off-campus science students. Most of these ear ly students were high school teachers seeking to upgrade their qualifications. This fall, close to 3,500 students enrolled in UWcorres- pondence courses, from every province in Canada, and from several other countries as well. More than 150 courses are offered via the taped lecture system. It is possible to obtain a 11W bachelor of arts degree in psychology or history, or a bachelor of science degree or bachelor of mathema- tics degree, completely by correspondence. In addition, it is possible to obtain master of science and master of mathematics degrees by correspondence. "There's been steady growth and the future for these courses seems very promising," says Dr. Dixon, "particularly now that they are on the semester basis, The key to our success has been the taped lecturg system, a course which makesA, taking a correspondence course much more like a real class experience." . Other things UW does to promote student interest: (1) questionnaries are sent to all correspondence students half-way through each t erm, so they can evaluate the course and the professor; (2) students are invited to an annual lass party on campus, and some of them come from 200 and 300 miles away to attend it.

"Until now, our corrspon- dence courses started in September and ran through into April," says Dr. Ted Dixon, ph ysics professor and associate director of UW's correspondence program. "This year, anyone who missed the Septemer deadline may enroll now for the courses that will start the first of January. Or, he or she may enroll later for the courses starting the first of May." This new• flexibility is expected to prove of widespread interest. For instance, it is now possible to take a four-month course running from September through December ; drop out for the January - April' period, and take another beginning the first of -• May. Each four-month course will count as one-half a credit towards U.W degree. The final event of Centennial Year at Brucefield United Church will be held on Sunday, November 28. This will be a Congregational Celebration marking the opening of the first church. Dr. John McIntosh began life in the Brucefield area and has gone on into the world of education to leave his mark. He began teach- ing in Huron County and went on to teach in Toronto. He became Inspe ctor of Schools in North York.. Dr. McIntosh has been active in education and the church. He has been on various Boards and Councils with special concern for the exceptional child, the emotionally disturbed child and Ontario Crippled Children.. Wheatpeckers make lasagna . 'Meeting five of the Seaforth 111 Wheaty Wheatpeckers was held at the home of Catherine and Brenda Coleman on November 6 at 7:30 p.m. The girls opened the meeting with the 4-H pledge. The roll call was "three things that I have learned about flour", Mrs. Coleman read from her leaders' pamphlet and each girl had a turn reading aftqn-rilieir members pamphlet on From Snacks to Banquets and Around the Clock with Cereals. Brenda Coleman and Mrs. Coleman demonstrated how ' to make lasagna. ,Each girl enjoyed the lasagna. Dr. Dixon says Waterloo rejected the idea of a completely open correspondence system .. where one could start any month in the year .... because of its concern to make the correspond- ence experience come a close as poSsible to the on-campus experience. "We try to make our correspondence students feel they are paft of a class," he says. "We send them taped lectures which they listen to in their homes. We also send them the names and home addresses of other students who may live nearby . . so they can get in touch with each other and interact just as students on campus do. We send them assignments which they return to the professor for marking according to a pre- arranged schedule. Aftdr, he's marked them the professor prepares a tutorial tape which is sent to each member of the class. This tape includes comments as to how the students are doing and where some of them may be going wrong. So each student can actually compare himself or herself with other members of the class. In other words the student gets a feel for how things are going." Dr. McIntosh will speak on "The Church that was, is and may be. A social hour' will follow the morning service which will be held at 10:00 a.m. Dr. McIntosh speaking To the Electors OF THE VILLAGE OF Dublin Having decided to seek ra-election to the position of Trustee for the Village of Dublin, look forwardtO serving you in the future as I have in the past.
