Summer hiatus

Hi all,

I hope you have enjoyed my rantings, ravings, and job postings, but I will be taking a break from the blog for about a month. I am traveling and have a few projects in the works that need my attention. I'm hoping to be back late July/early August.

Best,

Robert

This will be the first time I have taught a face-to-face course since March of last year, and for various reasons 5/8 of the course (100-level math content) will be face-to-face, with the remaining 3/8 (prereq math topics and success skill assignments) online.

This is half inspired by  Flipped...

Building Thinking Classrooms: Planning for Winter 2024

 I am hosting a professional learning community for my state-level organization (SBCTC) and am sharing some thoughts on how I am planning my next term, using the Building Thinking Classrooms ( BTC ) framework. Below is the post I made on December 20th 2023 to our internal discussion forum. If you have thoughts, questions, or ideas about the BTC framework, post it below! ------------------------------  I am teaching MATH 104 Finite Mathematics with Support next term, and want to weave thinking questions throughout the course . This corequisite support course allows students can enter the course with below college level placement, and earn college credit in one term instead of two. These students are majoring in business, accounting, or other programs, eventually need to take MATH&148 Business Calculus. The course covers linear equations, systems of linear equations, linear programming, the Simplex method, functions (polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic), financia...
