Math 124 Reform: Survey of Calculus I Teena Gerhardt and Ben Schmidt

 Three credit “applied calculus” course.  Enrollment around 3500 students per year (~2300 Fall, ~1200 Spring), primarily majors from life sciences or business/economics.  Terminal math course for many students.  Historically taught in small sections, mostly by graduate students.  Applications were primarily focused on economics, with some from life sciences. Overview of MTH 124:

Major Changes:  Two separate tracks: one for students in life sciences and one for business/economics  Two lectures plus one recitation per week  Lecture size options:  Large section: Led by experienced faculty  Small section: Mostly led by graduate students  Textbook, WeBWork, Syllabus, etc...

Application Labs Application Labs  Team-based active learning “labs” focused on applications of calculus to life sciences or economics.  Students work in assigned groups of 4. The groups change twice throughout the semester.  Students spend one course period (50 minutes) per week working on a lab activity with their group.  Labs are graded on participation and correctness.  Labs tie to lecture material from that week.

 Lab 1: Functions and Models Bio: Modeling Cancer Incidence Business: Cost, Revenue, Profit, Supply and Demand  Lab 2: Exponential Functions Bio: Bacteria Growth Business: Interest-Bearing Investments  Lab 3: Average Rate of Change Bio: Modeling 2014 Ebola Epidemic Business: Modeling Housing Costs
