AN INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTARY PARTICLES : THE OPEN UNIVERSITY APPROACH
F.R. STANNARDThe Open University, United Kingdom
Abstract
All science students at the Open University, whether their prime interests lie in biology, physics, chemistry or the earth sciences, must begin their studies by taking the first year Foundation Course in Science. In addition, many non-science students take the course (about 30 % of the enrolment). In common with the other Open University first year courses it has to be open to all potential students whether or not they have any previous qualifications : it has to be open to those with no previous scientific training as well as those who are already graduates of other universities. The course has therefore to serve a student population with a wide variety of interests and abilities.
