Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Wells’s Island of Dr. Moreau “depict[s] the takeover ofnatural female function by crazed male science.” 2 Frankenstein uses technology to create lifewhile Moreau uses it to metamorphose animal into human life, and both play the role of parent totheir creatures. Indeed, the only females on the island are some of Moreau’s subjects.Curiously, though, as Moreau first introduces Prendick to the island, he suggests that all of thecreatures are female in some sense: “Our little establishment here contains a secret or so, is a kind of Blue-Beard’s chamber, in fact. Nothing very dreadful, really, to a sane man.” (20)The reference to Bluebeard places Moreau in the position of a serial wife slayer, which in

Each of these individuals had worked in industry for periods ranging from five to eleven years and brought their experience to their new jobs. Their industrial background may have been seen as an asset to the department and made them more attractive candidates than new Ph.D.’s coming straight out of graduate school. In addition, their experience may have allowed them to negotiate for a higher starting salary than a new Ph.D. graduate could command.· The importance of maintaining contacts within the engineering community.

that the size of the testingfacility may be much smaller than the size of the class. On the other hand, if it is difficult todevelop a large number of good questions, then large numbers of students may need to take anon-line test simultaneously. This requires a very large on-campus laboratory that can be madeavailable for testing when needed. A particularly successful example of the use of a largelaboratory using on-line course materials with on-line testing is the Math Emporium at VirginiaTechnical University2.Our experience points to differences in the ease of creating large question banks for on-linetesting.
