  • David Wetzel on 17 Mar 10
     
    For students to make connections in algebraic thinking in problem solving situations, it is important they learn to use algebra symbolism to represent known and unknown information. To this end they must express problem solving situations as linear, quadratic, or exponential models. This way of thinking also requires students to model, represent, analyze, and generalize contextualized problems in a variety of problem solving situations as they begin to think algebraically.

The web-based activity is inquiry-based and incorporates the full features available on the web - interactivity between computer and student. The learning activity must engage student critical thinking skills by using the scientific inquiry process.

High-Tech Cheating on Homework Abounds, and Professors Are Partly to Blame - Technology... - 15 views

  • "The feeling about homework is that it's really just busywork,"
    • Ed Webb
      Ed Webb on 03 Apr 10
       
      The real core of the problem
  • professors didn't put much effort into teaching, so students don't put real effort into learning
  • "The current system places too great a burden on individual faculty who would, under the circumstances, appear to have perverse incentives: Pursuing these matters lowers course evaluations, takes their severely limited time away from research for promotion, and unfortunately personalizes the issue when it is not personal at all, but a violation against the university."
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • In the humanities, professors have found technological tools to check for blatant copying on essays, and have caught so many culprits that the practice of running papers through plagiarism-detection services has become routine at many colleges. But that software is not suited to science-class assignments.
  • a "studio" model of teaching
    • Ed Webb
      Ed Webb on 03 Apr 10
       
      At Dickinson we do workshop physics - I bet cheating is reduced.
  • The parents paid tuition in cash
  • The idea that students should be working in a shell is so interesting. It never even occurred to me as a student that I shouldn't work with someone else on my homework. How else do you figure it out? I guess that is peer-to-peer teaching. Copying someone else's work and presenting it as your own is clearly wrong (and, as demonstrated above, doesn't do the student any good), but learning from the resources at hand ought to be encouraged. Afterall, struggling through homework problems in intro physics is how you learn in the first place.
