Computers help ease lecture load
By GREG LARSON Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Every once in a while, a class provides a reprieve from the lecture format most instructors and departments.
Students who take Pharmacology at the University of Kansas Medical Center attend only 20 lectures during the semester. Computer Aided Instruction, a series of computer programs to help students study, offers students an alternative to a lecture-dominated class.
Reading material contained in syllabuses and multiple-choice tests are combined with the computer programs as learning aids.
Pharmacology is the study of the composition, use and effects of pharmaceuticals.
second-year medical students but can be taken by other Med Center students.
EDWARD WALASZEK, chairman of the pharmacology, toxicology and therapeutics department at the Med Center, said about 190 computer systems among seven differ-ent pharmacology studies helped the students study.
"Each program lasts 20 to 45 minutes," he said. "The programs have been successful and popular. About 100 other schools in the nation use the programs, and most students in pharmacology do."
Walaszek said on the average only about 10 percent of the 200 second-ear medical students didn't use the pharmacology programs. Of those students, most AAs, six don't pass, and the rest earn a satisfactory mark, he said.
grams, Walaszek said, case studies,
review questions and self-study are
three types of computer programs that help students study.
Self study programs present information and then ask a series of questions about the material. The review question program asks questions and then informs students whether they were right or wrong. These programs are used later in unit study.
Case studies allow the student to test themselves in applying the knowledge. For example, a toxicology case offers the student seven ways to treat a patient, but only one will save the patient.
Toxicology is the study of poisons and treatment of poisoning.
Walasek said the students had access to 32 computers on the second floor of Orr-Major Hall 20 hours a day.
The brick repair work at Murphy Hall might be completed in two to three weeks if the weather cooperates, the associate director of facilities planning said yesterday.
"The repair work will minimize the potential for new cracks and things of that nature." Modig said.
Jim Modig, the associate director,
said workers had removed and
replaced loose mortar in brick joints,
removed deteriorated bricks, laid
new bricks and installed new expansion joints.
The project, which cost about $82.000, started last March, Modig

said. Fair Roofing Company of Wichita is the contractor.
Cracks in the Murphy Hall walls caused no specific damage, Modig said, but the repair work was necessary to prevent problems in the future.
Modig said the nearly 30-year-old building suffered from brick and concrete expansion and contraction over the years, which created cracks and crevices. He added that the building had not undergone any extensive repair work until recent years.
Some problems in the building's structure became apparent when the
building's roof was repaired by Vincent Roofing Company of Topeka in 1983. Motig said.
Mike Farrell, roofing superintendent for the company, said expansion cracks and mortar deterioration allowed water to seep into the building.
Farrell said the roof's parapet walls were badly deteriorated. Also, the cooling tower, which supplies the building with air conditioning, emitted water that could seep into the building, he said.
"The cooling tower sends out a lot of water," Farrell said.
