University Examinations and College Physics Teaching

Abstract

THE University of London Special and General degrees influence strongly the teaching of advanced physics in technical colleges. Most advanced teaching in the past has been for candidates for the external University examinations, and it is already apparent that some courses for the Diploma in Technology are being modelled, consciously or otherwise, on the degrees. The old regulations degree papers retained for many years their archaic form which, despite a few questions on more recent discoveries, essentially adopted the point of view of 1920. The change of regulations gave some hope of improvement, but a study of recent papers leaves one with the conviction that little advance has been made.
