Although the use of traditional just-in-time teaching techniques has long been viewed positively by students and instructors in undergraduate calculus courses, past studies in this area have not addressed gains in student achievement with respect to specific calculus topics. This paper investigates the latter by administering modified just-in-time…

Goehle, Geoff – PRIMUS, 2013
In this paper we demonstrate how video game mechanics can be used to help improve student engagement with online mathematics homework. Specifically, we integrate two common video game systems, levels and achievements, with the online homework program "WeBWorK." We describe the key features of the implementation of these systems and…

Halcrow, Cheryl; Dunnigan, Gerri – PRIMUS, 2012
This article describes a quantitative and qualitative assessment from a study done on the possible effectiveness of including an online homework component in first-semester calculus. Two instructors, each teaching two sections of Calculus I, agreed to treat one of their sections as an experimental group and the other as a control group. Students…

LaRose, P. Gavin – PRIMUS, 2010
In this study we examine the introduction of on-line homework to a Calculus II course as a replacement for ungraded pencil-and-paper homework assignments. We consider how this had an impact on students' performance in the course, on student behavior in completing the assigned work, and on student attitudes toward it. We find that students working…

Bauer, Craig – PRIMUS, 2010
A detailed description is provided of a 200-level 3-credit course introducing ways in which mathematics may be explored with the use of a computer. This may serve as a template for such courses or be taken piecemeal for use in other classes. The original course was aimed at mathematics and mathematics education majors. (Contains 2 tables, 21…

Levy, Rachel; Shearer, Michael; Taylor, Padraic – PRIMUS, 2007
We describe a program that provides structured practice of prerequisite material to students in an ordinary differential equations course using an existing automated homework system originally designed for precalculus and calculus classes. The goal of the program is to improve students' comprehension of material presented in class by timing the…
