A HANDS-ON APPROACH TO SPEECH SCIENCE

The use of laboratory activities to supplement lectures is based on th e knowledge that students learn best when they are able to manipulate the material under study, and that understanding of the physical unive rse requires problem-solving. The goal of this project was to develop public domain software and laboratory materials for instructional prog rams in speech and hearing science. The results of a 2 year implementa tion of the lab activities demonstrate that self-paced exercises in sp eech and hearing science courses provide an effective adjunct to lectu re presentation.
