Direct linkWakefield, Thomas P. – PRIMUS, 2020
Many colleges and universities recently piloted and adopted the co-requisite model of delivery of developmental mathematics while offering more options for students to fulfill their mathematics requirement. We discuss our process for piloting and ultimately implementing the co-requisite model at our university, provide preliminary data on student…

Bennoun, Steve; Holm, Tara – PRIMUS, 2021
The Mathematics Department at Cornell University has recently secured a grant from the University to implement systemic change in how we teach courses that reach students at critical transition points in their mathematical development. In this article, we report on the changes made to our large multi-section first-semester calculus course in order…

Heubach, Silvia; Krinsky, Sharona – PRIMUS, 2020
We report on a large-scale implementation of mastery-based grading in a General Education Introductory Statistics course at California State University Los Angeles. In Fall 2018, the course had 80 sections of approximately 30 students each and was taught by 37 instructors who ranged from long-time, experienced instructors to brand new teaching…

White, Jonathan J. – PRIMUS, 2017
A problem sequence is presented developing the basic properties of the set of natural numbers (including associativity and commutativity of addition and multiplication, among others) from the Peano axioms, with the last portion using von Neumann's construction to provide a model satisfying these axioms. This sequence is appropriate for…

Champanerkar, Jyoti – PRIMUS, 2013
This paper illustrates a biological application of the concepts of relative change and area under a curve, from mathematics. We study two biological measures "relative change in cardiac output" and "cardiac output", which are predictors of heart blockages and other related ailments. Cardiac output refers to the quantity of…

Rogers, Kimberly Cervello – PRIMUS, 2014
In the context of a Capstone course for prospective secondary teachers (PSTs) of mathematics, this paper examines how a journal assignment was implemented and how it can help us understand PSTs' views of mathematics and mathematics teaching. First, the course design and specifics of the assignment are described. Then, details about…
