Emily Elrod, Kristen Mazur, Brittany Riggs and Aaron Trocki presented at MathFest, the annual meeting of the Mathematical Association of America, Aug. 2-5.
Ƶ Mathematics and Statistics faculty recently presented at the annual meeting of the Mathematical Association of America. The conference was held in Tampa, Florida from Aug. 2 through Aug. 5.
Brittany Riggs, Emily Elrod and Aaron Trocki delivered the oral presentation, “Applying Calculus with Culturally Relevant Pedagogies,” which represents joint work with Ƶ colleagues Larry Cantwell, Dan Flores and Nancy Scherich. Presenters shared research on a curriculum revision project in Applied Calculus courses at Ƶ. This work is supported by a CATL Teaching & Learning Grant and funds from the College of Arts and Sciences’ HHMI Inclusive Excellence Grant.
Kristen Mazur gave a talk “Do and Review: Facilitating Learning Through Self-Assessed Homework Assignments” in which she discussed her research on Calculus 1 student perceptions of a homework system that allows students to self-assess their assignments. Her work is in collaboration with faculty at California State University, Dominguez Hills, and her travel to MathFest was supported by a CATL Teaching Conference Reimbursement Grant.
