Online Mathematics Homework Systems: Pedagogical and Administrative Features

With advent of digital media, online homework systems have become a significant component of college-level mathematics courses. These systems are particularly attractive to assess student learning in large courses such as the traditional calculus sequence, with enrollment of over 1000 students. This paper identifies the sophisticated administrative and pedagogical features that these systems mu...

Mathematics 5707 Homework 1

number of ordered triples (a, b, c) such that ab ∈ E(G) and bc / ∈ E(G). Observe that each vertex v has deg v = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. If deg v is 0 or 5, then v is the second vertex in 0 such triples. If deg v is 1 or 4, then v is the second vertex in 4 such triples. If deg v is 2 or 3, then v is the second vertex in 6 such triples. Thus, there are at most 36 such ordered triples. Note that each...

Engineering the Math Performance Gap

Education and Work online at: New and unprecedented standards for mathematical and computation literacy have emerged for the nation’s workforce. Generated by the science-intensive and digitally driven global economy, today’s careers in health science, engineering, value added manufacturing, and nano-fabrication require advanced mathematics. The importance of mathematical and computational compe...

Can we insist students reach proficiency on homework? Yes!

This study involved a comparison between the conditions of Mastery Mode against NonMastery. In the Mastery Mode, selected problems were mastery problems. A student, who got an incorrect answer, went into the Mastery Mode in which he/she had to get three consecutive problems correct testing the same skill. Although this process took long, it forced the student to master the subject matter. In th...
