Dr. Paul Nolting's Academic Success Press Blog: A Publication Dedicated to Math Success |
Good morning readers! Today, we want to update you about what you can expect to see on the blog in the upcoming weeks. Then we'll pass along a few interesting links to recent stories from around the Web involving developmental mathematics.
Updates 1. On Monday, Nov. 30 we will run an interview with Jack Rotman (AMATYC). Not only do we discuss math redesigns in the conversation, but we also talk about the reputation of math itself. Is math something students should "just get over with?" Are real world applications necessary to truly make mathematics valuable to students? We talk about this and much more. 2. We also have upcoming interviews with Rebecca Goosen and Barbara Illowsky. Stay tuned! Links 1. An interesting piece from Mercer County Community College's student newspaper. The story discusses the headaches of implementing computer-based programs into redesigned classrooms. Spoiler alert! Some of the students are a bit frustrated (shocking, we know)! Link 2. Another extremely interesting read about the efforts of a few NC State professors to find new and innovative ways to teach math. It is always exciting when math departments receive grants to conduct this type of research. Good luck to all involved! Link
