  • New biology lab an interactive plus for students By Barbara Clements The lab tucked in the north side of the Rieke Science Center is all about drywall, dust and stacks of cabinets right now. But come spring semester, the new Louis and Lydia Sheffels Biology…

    winter, the only way to instruct the students on correct steps to generate a graph in excel, for example, was to have the professor move from one work station to the next. The combination of the SMART board, computers station and overhead projector will enable the professor to show how the procedure is done, while students follow along at their own work stations. Although there will be much new about the labs, one thing that won’t change is the student work stations, said Professor Angelia Alexander

    , for which psychologist Daniel Kahneman won the 2002 Nobel prize in economics. It proposes that people aren’t always trying to maximize benefits, but are paying attention to a benchmark. In this case, the benchmark is par. “Do golfers pay attention to par? Yes, they sit in it,” Reiman said. This is in contrast to neoclassical economic theory that says that people are always trying to better their situation given the constraints they face. The Economics of Golf was split into two sections in order
