Teaching Reflections: Math 093 Boot Camp
http://aaronw-teaching.blogspot.com/2008/12/math-093-boot-camp.html
Thoughts on teaching University-level Mathematics. Monday, December 15, 2008. Math 093 Boot Camp. The plan is to start by developing a workbook. I'm not going to spend a lot of time working on writing up explanations right now because that's not as important as laying out the problems in the right order, having the right number of them, and other such issues.

Teaching Reflections: October 2007
http://aaronw-teaching.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts on teaching University-level Mathematics. Saturday, October 20, 2007. I scared my student. She responded by accusing me of criticizing her publicly (her post was public and my response was public) and felt insulted enough to drop the class before even taking the exam. Friday, October 12, 2007. A chance to refelct on the first half of my first semester. Tuesday, October 2, 2007. I'm glad I'm not a researcher/teacher. Changes that would allow me more time:. Different homework grading system. Enhan...

Teaching Reflections: Spring 2008 reflections
http://aaronw-teaching.blogspot.com/2008/05/spring-2008-reflections.html
Thoughts on teaching University-level Mathematics. Monday, May 12, 2008. I don't think I put thoughts in this blog nearly as often as I did in the first semester, but now that the semester is over, I have the time and energy to put a lot of thought into how things went this semester. It's very much like a work environment. Do you expect to get paid simply because you show up for work, and not because you actually perform your job competently? Quizzes should be at the beginning of class." Over the cou...

Teaching Reflections: July 2008
http://aaronw-teaching.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts on teaching University-level Mathematics. Monday, July 7, 2008. Henderson College's Graduation Rate Disappointing. I found this to a surprisingly negative and pointless article. I accept that the numbers are bad and need to be better, but the article's shading is clearly tilted against the institution and puts it in an unfairly negative light. Labels: In The News.

Teaching Reflections: September 2007
http://aaronw-teaching.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts on teaching University-level Mathematics. Monday, September 24, 2007. Next semester, I'm going to start off by placing a much higher emphasis on presentation to my algebra classes. My experiences this quarter indicate that this is actually a foundational part of their math education. It has a number of benefits:. It sets the standard of reading and following directions carefully. It forces students to think about what they're doing and exposes their lack of thought. Thursday, September 6, 2007.

Thoughts on teaching University-level Mathematics. Tuesday, May 5, 2009. I see that I didn't make any comments about Fall 2008. The only thing I would have to say there is that I decided that I didn't really like the Math 093 textbook. Labels: End of Semester. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
