Zusammenfassung:	Presents an active-learning technique in which students design their studies that was found to be successful in an animal behavior laboratory course. Divides the laboratory course into three components: (1) structured and technique-oriented exercises; (2) open-ended and student-designed investigations; and (3) independent projects. Explains laboratory procedures and objectives and lists potential drawbacks that might be observed during the procedure. (Contains 27 references.) (YDS)
