One respondent indicated that the lecture and laboratory portions of the course were integrated into a “studio style course.” This course met two- hours/day, three-days/week, with every lecture having a laboratory exercise integrated into it. Lectures typically lasted one-half hour/meeting with the remainder of the time spent in the laboratory portion of the course.6) All of the institutions that offered the laboratory required it as an integral part of the overall student learning experience.
