Music, speech, and hearing: A general education course in descriptive acoustics
William J. Strong, E. Paul Palmer, J. Duane Dudley · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1976
A general education course in descriptive acoustics for students in music, speech, and related areas is described. Resource materials include books, study guide, films, audio tapes, demonstrations, and walk-in labs. The course has been evolving as it has been offered over the past 16 semesters. However, our university has recently adopted a general education program which allows students to test out on a course without formally enrolling. This has necessitated making the exams and resource material more generally available, and poses a particular challenge for lab-oriented activity. Much of this paper is concerned with aspects of a walk-in hands-on lab designed to meet these new requirements.
