Survey for computer-based course in acoustic phonetics.
J. M. Pickett, Robert Berkovitz · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1992
Instructors of courses in speech communication listed in the 1990 JASA summary of acoustics courses were surveyed to develop information about numbers and types of students, course names, current text use, available computers, and rating-scale opinions on the potential value of computer-based courses in acoustic phonetics. Responses were overwhelmingly positive. Surprisingly large numbers of courses and students were reported. Equipment was indicated as available for computer-based instruction. Detailed results will be presented on the distribution of courses over academic disciplines and levels of texts in use, to characterize the needs for course development. [Work supported by NIDOCD.]
