Extractions: The Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign University of Idaho The Traditional Course Intermediate Algebra, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus comprise a group of developmental-level courses that review information offered in high school math. Students in the colleges of Engineering and Business as well as in the various sciences are required to understand pre-calculus in order to take a number of courses in their majors. With a total of 2,428 students enrolled, all three courses are taught in traditional lecture format. Students receive support from a Mathematics Assistance Center, a drop-in facility staffed mainly by undergraduate assistants. However, students must seek help on their own; the active learning, immediate feedback, and personalized instruction available from the assistance center are not embedded in the traditional lecture format.

Extractions: Professional Activities Teaching Courses Mathematica Labview ... Extraterrestrial Intelligence Teaching Early in my physics career, I decided to use physics primarily as a way to make a living. Since I had many interests outside the field of physics, from river running and mountaineering to world travel, the career that appealed to me most was university teaching, as it would give me a lot of free time, which to me was worth a lot more than money. So, after I got my Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, I started to look around for a teaching job in the San Francisco bay area. In 1966, I got an offer from Sonoma State University, and here-several decades later- (albeit partially retired)-I still am. When I came to Sonoma State, the campus was very young, and people were pretty much making things up as they went along. So, as the first chairman, I made up the physics and astronomy department, and had a great deal of fun doing it. For a while, there was nothing else like it in the world. Later, the dead hand of bureaucracy and conservative rigor mortis struck the university, and things had to be done differently, and much less creatively. But that's another story. Somewhat to my surprise, I found that I really liked teaching. What I didn't like was the bureaucracy associated with grades-I still haven't decided whether grades are a necessary evil. It is undoubtedly still true that the only real way to learn a subject is to get the hardest book you can find on it and then-by yourself-wrestle the stuff to a standstill. In this view-my view- a teacher can only be a tour guide. Some people still seem to hope that they need only settle back in a class and let the teacher pour the subject into their brains- and that learning the subject will thereby take place effortlessly and with no pain. Alas, not true. In learning as in weight lifting and other areas: no pain, no gain.

The CAS In Multivariable Calculus new technology to help students understand the concepts of calculus better. this paper,I share two of the laboratory activities we have used to teach them http://archives.math.utk.edu/ICTCM/EP-8/C16/html/paper.html
Extractions: It was three years ago that my colleague, Tim Sipka, and I decided to begin incorporating computer algebra system (CAS) technology into our calculus program. We opted to use the CAS, not to supplant hand computation altogether as some good programs have done, but instead to supplement our existing traditional program. Our simple guiding goal, we decided, would be to try to find ways to use the new technology to help students understand the concepts of calculus better. After experimenting with a few systems, we chose Maple and began developing laboratory assignments which students would carry out in groups of two or three. Of the sixteen topics we've used Maple to teach, I've found that the ones which are most enhanced by the technology are the multivariable topics. In this paper, I share two of the laboratory activities we have used to teach them. Also, I share the results of a student opinion survey about our project. The first of these is the topic of space curves. The purpose of the lab we wrote on this was to help students visualize three-dimensional curves by

It is easy to use and is designed so that the introductory activities teach students how to proceed. An exciting feature is that, with the addition of a video camera and a video capture board, students can shoot their own movies and use them with the program. They can take and analyze different measurements from the home video using the wide variety of graphs and tables provided in the program. Teachers, too, can make use of this feature and develop authentic activities for students to work on independently in groups. "

Extractions: Home TIR BA Physics Program Physics Course Revision ... Other Faculty Two physics faculty each semester will team up with those from the school of education to visit and supervise student teachers. Several members of the department, most notably Art Hobson and William Oliver , are excited about this prospect. This will be considered a normal service commitment in the department. Hobson has a history of interest and involvement in how science is taught, and is very familiar with the science standards. Oliver is the chair of the department and sees this as growing naturally out of his visits to schools for recruitment efforts. Further, he sees it as a natural extension that when we make recruitment trips to schools around the state we can arrange to bring materials and engage students in an inquiry-based activity in an elementary or middle school class in the district visited. The department will consider these materials an operating expense, and these activities departmental service. The Department of Mathematics has suggested that they revise the calculus sequence to better support the physics sequence, and better serve all of our students. They wish to do so with input and suggestions from physics. At the beginning of the summer of 2002, the Department of Mathematics was given a copy of the syllabi for the first two semesters of University Physics. During this first year
