Mathematical Sciences (21) To provide an additional path to student involvement in learning mathematics, the mathematics department at Montgomery College Takoma Park Campus is implementing the writing software program, Calibrated Peer Review (CPR), developed at UCLA (NSF DUE#:95-55605). Students using this program demonstrate their understanding of mathematical concepts by writing related expository essays. Therefore, the students are actively involved in the learning process.The outcomes of adding this component to the curriculum are that more students are seeing the relevance of the mathematics learned, retaining the mathematical and quantitative problem solving skills, improving their writing skills and improving their critical thinking skills. Each student is individually involved in a critical thinking situation related to a particular topic being taught by the instructor. The use of skills not generally tapped in a mathematics class provides another way to make the topics more accessible and more meaningful to those students who are not natural quantitative thinkers. The CPR software concentrates on critical literacy and communication skills. Students write expository essays that focus on both the understanding of a mathematical concept as well as meaningful examples of the concept.

数学科学（21）为了提供一个额外的路径，学生参与学习数学，数学系在蒙哥马利学院塔科马公园校区正在实施写作软件程序，校准同行评议（CPR），在加州大学洛杉矶分校（NSF到期日#：95-55605）开发。学生使用这个程序证明他们的数学概念的理解，通过写相关的短文。因此，学生积极参与学习过程，在课程中加入这一部分的结果是，更多学生看到了所学数学的相关性，保留了解决数学和定量问题的能力，提高了他们的写作能力，并提高了他们的批判性思维能力。每个学生都单独参与与讲师教授的特定主题相关的批判性思维情况。使用数学课上通常不会用到的技能提供了另一种方式，使这些主题对那些不是天生的定量思维者的学生来说更容易理解，更有意义。CPR软件侧重于批判性扫盲和沟通技能。学生写的论文，侧重于两个数学概念的理解，以及概念的有意义的例子。
