The next dB-SERC lunch discussion will take place on Monday, January 29th from 12 – 1 pm in 321 Allen Hall. During this in-person dB-SERC lunch discussion, Edison Hauptman from the Department of Mathematics will give his research talk titled, “Contract Grading in Calculus 2”.
Abstract: This past summer, I let my Calculus 2 students decide how they were going to be evaluated. Some focused on quizzes, exams, and online homework. Some solved difficult practice problems and presented solutions in the recitations. Some completed projects, whether from the textbook or of their own invention. I will explain why and how I did this, and the lessons I’ve learned from giving my students more ways to put their education in their own hands.
