Abstract:
It has been said that the only way to evaluate effective teaching is in terms of student learning (2). There are several levels of learning, ranging from the lowest level, discrimination, to the highest level, which is the ability to utilize a sequence of concepts. All of us are constantly looking for ways to increase learning by our students, be it through increasing their ability to recognize that breeds of livestock differ (discrimination), or by increasing their ability to predict what will happen to U.S. soybean prices if the U.S.S.R. has a favorable sunflower growing season (the ability to utilize a sequence of concepts). We also wish to do this in a manner that the student finds interesting and motivating.
