Developing Transferable Skills in Undergraduate Mathematics Students through Mathematical Modelling.
Peer reviewedNyman, Melvin A.; Berry, John – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2002
Discusses certain transferable skills and a strategy for developing them via an intensive short course on mathematical modeling. Includes student reactions and comments on the course. Suggests that this course developed modeling as well as generic skills through teaching, learning, and assessment style. (Author/KHR)

Peer reviewedMaull, Wendy; Berry, John – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2001
Observes four groups of mathematics undergraduates carrying out a mathematical modeling exercise of a familiar physical process (the cooling of a cup of hot water). Indicates that students neither took the time to reflect upon the physical process nor to reflect on the appropriateness of the model they produced. Recommends that classroom…
