Synopsis

are numerous in-depth studies of student learning processes but, let me confess it, I found these singularly unhelpful while nervously waiting to take the plunge. Consequently, my own advice is, frankly, downright earthyl Notwithstanding educational theorists (who are all-too- frequently arts men), I take it as axiomatic that the existing pattern of lectures, tutorials, practicals, etc., common throughout higher scientific education, will persist for some time to come. A special word of thanks is due to Pearline Daniels, not only for translating my scrawl into typescript, but for the many helpful noises made at appropriate times. Peter Hor- robin also made many helpful comments. My thanks go to him and, indeed, to all those colleagues who had their say. Alan J.
