This study presents a primary trait analysis of a learner-centered, discrete mathematics course based on student-to-student instruction. The authors developed a scoring rubric for the primary traits: conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, application of understanding, and mathematical communication skills. Eleven students took an exam…

Alsardary, Salar; Blumberg, Phyllis – PRIMUS, 2009
We describe a learner-centered upper-level mathematics course where the students present the material to the class instead of the instructor, and the students make presentations on applied topics at the regional MAA meeting. After take-home examinations the students can discuss their answers one-on-one with the instructor. The students liked the…

Blumberg, Phyllis; Mostrom, Alison M.; Bendl, Barbara; Kimchuk, Amy; Wolbach, Kevin – PRIMUS, 2005
We developed, piloted, and evaluated a successful model for integrating other disciplinary perspectives while learning a specific discipline. Faculty who taught first-year biology and mathematics courses produced examples of how these disciplines complement each other. These faculty presented students with the connecting threads that integrate…
