| Event Description:
Mary Nelson, Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado Boulder Oral assessments: improved in grades and retention We have all heard it said that, 鈥淵ou really don鈥檛 understand something until you teach it.鈥� We know that is because teaching forces us to clarify ideas and learn to explain them well. Research shows that mathematical discourse is a key to deep understanding. Oral assessments help students to articulate their understanding of basic concepts and help them to self assess. I will share the results of on research study that examined the effect of oral assessments and reform teaching on a class of at-risk Calculus I students. |
