BioCalc: A Model for Teaching Calculus to Biology Students
Discussions
Discussion 1. A Discussion of the Seven Principles and BioCalc "Sometimes I'll talk about the things that she's learning that she may not even realize are part of the learning process: learning to think about a problem, learning to set up a problem--all these things that are not answer oriented but are process oriented."
Discussion 2. Summary of the Results of a BioCalc Assessment "The impact of BioCalc can be simply stated: students who take BioCalc receive better grades in MATH 120 than non-BioCalc students and are roughly twice as likely to take an additional math course. That the improved performance is unlikely to result solely from "easier grading" in BioCalc is indicated by the success of these students in the next course in the sequence, MATH 130. "
