The advantage ofimplementing this method are that it allows the student to use their creativity to come up witha solution of their own, rather than having the instructor give them a predetermined sequenceon how to solve certain

These surveyresults are also consistent with the findings and observation of the author who has beencontinuously teaching Senior-level laboratory courses for the last twenty years. The authorcontends that there are two major reasons that prevent students from adequately developing theability and skills. The first one is limited training due to insufficient exposure in handling open-end experiments, and the other is lack of opportunity in reviewing and improving imperfectexperiments due to their own mistakes and/or inferior equipment by devising new

. When I started teaching the electronics course, the lab experiments that were being used were in the old format designed for weekly on campus lab experiments. These labs were well suited for the older format in distance learning where students would come to RIT or find a local community college to attend weekly or 3 -4 times per quarter to complete their lab requirements. In spite of the movement toward the newer flexible format students in this class were merely instructed to do what they could at home and finish the labs during the single all day session on campus. The use of Power Point as shown in this paper allowed me to create new laboratory experiments students could perform at home. These labs contained tutorials that allowed students
