Katie Johnson; Allison Dieppa; Jason Elek – PRIMUS, 2024
This article describes the outcomes of a faculty partnership between a math professor and a composition professor to improve the final paper in a research-focused senior capstone math course. Much attention has been paid in recent years to the importance of undergraduate research experiences and how to best create and support such endeavors.…

Roneet Merkin – PRIMUS, 2024
This paper reports on a novel corequisite design and implementation for College Algebra at Florida International University. The corequisite course uses online, just-in-time, prerequisite assignments delivered on an open-educational platform. Students get help from near-peer learning assistants inside a math emporium environment. The course…

McCune, David; McCune, Lori – PRIMUS, 2019
This article presents a project that is meant to deepen student understanding of what it would mean for one preference voting method to be "better" than another. In the project we show the students how to rigorously compare the methods of plurality and plurality with elimination, and we then allow them to compare two other voting methods…

Kindle, Jennifer; Gentimis, Thanos – PRIMUS, 2018
At Florida Polytechnic University, a STEM University founded in 2014, Calculus I is the first mathematics course required by students in every major. In order to ensure students received the support necessary for Calculus I, an online Primer course was developed. The course, which is housed in the online platform CANVAS, targets specific topics…

Lazowski, Andrew; Stopper, Geffrey – PRIMUS, 2013
We describe a case study that was created to intertwine the fields of biology and mathematics. This project is given in an elementary probability and statistics course for non-math majors. Some goals of this case study include: to expose students to biology in a math course, to apply probability to real-life situations, and to display how far a…
