Abstract:
A microcomputer generated "textbook," capable of being updated and specific components distributed to students on a weekly basis, was developed as an aid in teaching a senior-level Beef Cattle Science course. As with any written source of information, the problem becomes one of getting students to read the Beef Cattle Science "textbook" material. To enhance student interest in reading the Beef Cattle Science "textbook," each major section of the "textbook" is supplemented with strategically placed, humorous "tid-bits" of information. Student response to utilization of the humorous "tid-bits" of information in the Beef Cattle Science "textbook" has been favorable.
