Kate S. Owens. Skip to primary content. On the purpose of examinations. February 25, 2014. I have just finished the second round of mid-semester exams in my calculus courses. As I may have mentioned before, I’m teaching two sections of “Calculus I” using a traditional grading scheme and one section of “Calculus II” using standards based grading. Both courses encountered their tests last week and had them returned with feedback this week. While grading, I mentioned the following on Twitter:. If you know h...

Teaching and learning in the sciences with a focus on physics education research (PER) from the trenches. I finally got to meet my students from the international college. October 14, 2014. Disclosure: my colleague, Georg Rieger, and I are currently in the process of securing post-doc funding to evaluate the effectiveness of Learning Catalytics and that position would be paid in part by Pearson, who owns Learning Catalytics. A whole lotta devices! Honestly, the first two points make it so that I would fa...

Teaching and learning in the sciences with a focus on physics education research (PER) from the trenches. Larr; Mathematica vs. Python in my Computational Physics course. Help me figure out which article to write. September 16, 2013. To me, there are two main possible models for the physics courses in this program:. Rethink the space completely and have a studio or SCALE-UP. What do you think about trying to argue between these two numbers? Have you taught similar sizes and can offer your perspective?

Teaching and learning in the sciences with a focus on physics education research (PER) from the trenches. Larr; Looking at the number of drafts submitted for project reports in the Advanced Lab. Reflecting on what I have read so far in John C. Bean’s “Engaging Ideas”. Student collision mini-projects from my fall comp-phys course. June 3, 2013. The students seemed much more willing to take on larger challenges with less support. The students had a lot more ownership of the learning task. Below is a playli...

Thales’ triangles: big mistake or little mistake?
http://thalestriangles.blogspot.com/2014/02/big-mistake-or-little-mistake.html
Teaching and doing mathematics in a liberal arts context. Exploring the meaning of life. Occasionally posting chronicles and observations. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Big mistake or little mistake? One of my friends shared this picture on Facebook—. Which came via mathtricks.org. The teacher is doing something rather sophisticated—solving a more general problem—which is what makes it easy to trip up on the apparent simplicity of this question. Consider the following similar questions:. In the case of th...

Un peu de math...: February 2013
http://drvinceknight.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Un peu de math. My name is Vince Knight and I'm a lecturer in Operational Research at Cardiff University with interests in game theory and queueing theory. I'll be using this blog to post about various things mainly including math and software. www.vincent-knight.com. Sunday, 10 February 2013. Creating inclusive mathematics notes using pandoc. As a math teacher there's not much we can do about distributing pdfs made with LaTeX apart from making the LaTeX code itself available. It started taking me a whil...

Learning Goals | mathflip
https://mathflip.wordpress.com/2013/08/29/learning-goals
Introduction and Project Overview. What does it mean to flip a classroom? August 29, 2013 · 11:45 pm. There are two aspects to our research project. The primary one is to investigate the ways students use their textbooks to help them learn mathematics. The secondary one is to see how students do this in a flipped classroom and examine the ways the flipped nature appears to influence the way they learn. This will be a fairly standard second-semester calculus class. We’re using the Hughes-Hallett (et&#...

Thales’ triangles: standards for analysis
http://thalestriangles.blogspot.com/2014/08/standards-for-analysis.html
Teaching and doing mathematics in a liberal arts context. Exploring the meaning of life. Occasionally posting chronicles and observations. Monday, August 18, 2014. Writing standards for a proof-based class is a different beast than for introductory calculus. In my last post. While considering these questions, I determined that there are six standards. I want students to actively develop during the semester, and on which I want to be giving targeted feedback. These skills will be grounded in the conte...
