Abstract

short of their intended purposes as the student finishes in a mad scramble trying to collect the necessary data under limitations imposed by time restraints and scarcity of subjects and laboratory space. More broadly conceived objectives, such as the study and use of experimental designs to carry out a series of coordinated experiments in any given area, that would allow the students to use the interpretation of data from an earlier study to influence the design of the next are usually dismissed as a &dquo; consummation devoutly to be wished. &dquo; One solution to some of these problems has been provided by the use of computer models that simulate quantitative data as these might be generated in one or more actual experiments.
