The educational program offered as the W-37 component of Introduction
to Marine Science (NS 225 at Boston University) consisted of a formal classroom
learning experience (31 lectures or seminars were presented), structured
laboratory study, and participation in individual research projects. Viewed
as an integrated whole, W-37 was divided into several different areas of
concentration: there were short-term projects occupying the ship's company
to the exclusion of most other concerns for up to a few days and longer ones
involving continuous data collection and analysis for the entire 6 weeks of
the voyage or major portions thereof.
