motivating students with application projects and poster sessions
cft assistant director derek bruff has another guest post on profhacker today: “motivating students with application projects and poster sessions.” in the post, derek describes an assignment he typically gives in his more “applied” math courses, an application project that gives students a chance to apply the math they have learned in the course to a “real world” problem. derek also describes the poster session he typically holds at the end of these courses to give students a chance to share their work with each other. in the post, derek focuses on how this assignment motivates his students, and he gives a few tips for administering this assignment in time efficient ways.
