Abstract
This paper examines the adaptation of experimental learning modes to the situation of the working adult student who are an increasingly important group on many campuses. Just as the younger student can learn from job situations, so can the adult student. However, there are special situations or problems that are unique to this group. These are illustrated, and methods of designing learning objectives and student, reports are presented.
