Report of the Curriculum Committee The Curriculum Committee has made good progress in 1970 towards its eoal of ~ . r e.~ t.t r i.na elist of tonics in chemintrv recommended for inclusion in the four years of undergraduate experience for a student majoring in chemistry. This progress was made possible by the devoted efforts of t,he Chairmen of the Subcommittees concerned with High School Chemistry (Donald B. Summers), General College Chemistry (Broek Spencer), Analytical Chemktry (Anne T. Sherren), Physical Chemistry (Paul W. Sutton), Organic Chemistry (Stanley C. Bnnce), Biochemistry (Quentin R. Petersen), Inorganic Chemistry (William A. Deskin), and Chemistry for Nomcience Msjars (William A. Nevill). In order to help chemistry teachers to select the most useful items from this list of topics for a particular cotwe or a sequence of courses, the Curriculum Committee decided to supplement the list of touics hv a list of behavioral ohjectives. These ohjectives are designed to tell the student el&rly and soccinetly how he is expected to demonstrste his grasp of the chemistry included in the topical list. With these behavioral objectivesor learning specifieation~inmind, the teacher can readily decide how deeply he wants to develop a given topic in a given course. A Subcommittee on Behavioral Objectives (Jay A . Young, Chairman) was very helpful to us in writing our objectives. The High School Subcommittee is developing statements of behavioral ohjectives in parallel with their preparation of the topical list. Further activities along these lines will he nndertaken by mail and at t,he Los Angeles meeting. The General College Chemistry Suhcommittee has revised its topical outline and is now working on revisions of behavioral ohjectives which will he ready for circulatk)n to other Curriculum Committee groups after the Los Angeles meeting. The Analytical Subcommittee has greatly revised its initial list of topics and expects to agree on a final list at Los Angeles. Behavioral ohjectives are now in the first stages of writing. The Physical Subcommittee has divided its topics into two categories: (a) thermodynamics; (b) quantum mechanics and atomic and molecular stn~ctore. Suggested topics are now being circulated among the suhcommittee members, and it is hoped that the list will be put in final farm s t Los Angeles. The Organic Subcommittee has eompleted the revision of its topical outline and plans to submit it to authors of organic textbooks and to the ACS Division of Chemical Education Examination Committee on Organic Chemistry for evaluation and suggestions. The Biochemistry Suhcommittee has agreed upon the final form of its list of topics. A limited number of behavioral objectives are in preparation and will he supplemented by suggestions t,o biochemistry teachers an ways to develop them in greater detail. The Examination Committee on Biochemistry is being kept informed of the Corriculum Subcommittee's progress. The Inorganic Subcommittee has devoted its e f f o r t to date on t,he preparation of examination questions as a basis for a topical outline and behavioral ohjectives. The Subcommittee on Noncieuce Majors has completed its topical ootlines and ediled it,s first set of behavioral ohjectives. I t expects to put these ohjectives in final form at the Los Angeles meeting. Plans are under way for an intensive writ,ing conference to put the finishing touches on the lists of topics and behavioral ohjectives. The Chicago meetings of t,he Curriculum Committee greatly encouraged us to posh ahead in the ~reparntionof our lists of topics and objectives. In the near future we hope to utilize the lists to develop new and fresh approaches to the organizat,ion of chemistry courses. We shall welcome the help of anyone who has time to devote to (his important project. Pleme tell the Chairman of the Curricrilum Committee or of one of the Subcommittees if you want to help.
