Challenges and Advantages of a Principle-Based Calculus Course
Speaker: Dr. David Weisbart, Department of Mathematics, University of California at Riverside
Abstract: We will discuss what it means for a course to be principle-based and describe an underlying philosophy of teaching and learning that supports principle-based…
