Sumario:The article focuses on "The Problem of Urban Areas," a course creating a set of techniques for looking problems from varied approaches, based on reason and experience, tested by study, and developed after participation in the community. Charles Male Jr. of Union College in New York developed a format of urban-areas course with a set of objectives that were based on questions about learning in problem situations. When a problem is identified, it will be discussed, committees will be formed, field trips will be conducted, and a report will be kept so that it can be used by succeeding classes as the basis for their work. This way, unnecessary repetition will be avoided and another problem will be addressed in the following year. The roles of each committee are also enumerated in the article.
