Abstract for the conference program
Calculus continues to be a challenge for many students. We have pursued a multifaceted approach to supporting students that involves a) a drop-in tutorial center, b) Supplemental Instruction, c) weekly graded homework, d) online practice using ALEKS, and e) a new Calculus for the Life Science course sequence. The influences of these various support mechanisms will be discussed.
