Colloquium Details
Innovative Teaching Seminar: Innovation in teaching mathematics: objectives, methods, and outcomes
Speaker: Annoesjka Cabo, Delft University of Technology
Location: Warren Weaver Hall 317
Date: November 1, 2018, 3:30 p.m.
Host: Alan Siegel
Synopsis:
In this informal seminar, Dr. Cabo will discuss an evolving program at Technical University Delft to improve learning in mathematics and mathematics-related subjects for a cohort of 12,000 students.
The overall project goals are:
- Academic success: to improve student performance in courses.
- Transfer: to enhance each student's ability to apply mathematics in engineering contexts.
- Engagement: to increase student-participation in classes and student-motivation for learning.
The primary means to these ends include:
- Blended course flipping.
- Collaborative student interaction.
- Content reform.
- Automation.
In addition, Dr. Cabo would be pleased to learn about the ongoing activities at Courant.
