Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement: Animation and Portfolios in Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Differential Equations

9353967曼哈顿区的威尔金森社区学院一直是微积分改革运动的领导者。他们目前的预微积分，微积分和微分方程课程强调学生在小组工作，并使用计算机绘图员和计算机代数系统创建书面荣誉项目和动画数学电影。它采用了Uri Treisman在伯克利开发的模型，以适应一个大型的城市非住宿学院，并超越了Treisman模型，强调技术和替代评估模型。 这个项目建立在他们以前的微积分课程项目。 他们为两个夏天的每一个提供两个区域夏季教师研讨会。一个研讨会是为没有技术经验的教师举办的，重点是准备微积分和微积分前的协作计算机组合。第二个讲习班为在技术方面更有经验的教师举办，强调使用新的计算机技术（例如，Macromind Director），动画图形，并允许学生创建数学电影在precalculus，微积分和微分方程。 ***

9353967 Wilkinson Borough of Manhattan Community College has been a leader of the Calculus reform movement. Their present precalculus, calculus and differential equations curriculum emphasizes students working in groups and using computer graphers and computer algebra systems to create written honors projects and animated mathematical movies. It adapts the model developed by Uri Treisman at Berkeley to a large urban non-residential college, and moves beyond the Treisman model in its strong emphasis in technology and alternative assessment models. This project builds on their previous calculus curriculum projects. They are offering two regional summer faculty workshops for each of two summers. One workshop is for faculty inexperienced in technology and focuses on the preparation of collaborative computer portfolios in precalculus and calculus. The second workshop for faculty more experienced in technology and is emphasizing the use of new computer technology (e.g., Macromind Director) that animates graphs, and allows students to create mathematics movies in precalculus, calculus, and differential equations. ***
