    I thought it would be useful to have a topic thread on this site for us practitioners to share our work with each other.

    Heidi and Mike's Update: We are developing a three-part curriculum that leads students through the topics of taking responsibility and goal setting.

    We are designing our activities with a simple framework of student preparation (reading, reflection, etc), collaborative in-class activity, and then debrief. This framework may be obvious, but I wanted to share that thought nonetheless.

    Some of you may have seen the title of a book that Bill posted - How to Succeed in College Mathematics - I'm already thinking about how I can embed some of the topics!

    FYI - I attended an AMATYC webinar yesterday; among the CATs the presenters use is a "fess up" activity. They have their students purchase a pack of 3x5 cards that they use for CATs (muddiest point, etc) but in the fess-up CAT, if the class gets started with people behaving like they didn't do homework, use the 3x5 card to "fess-up" that you aren't prepared.
