, participants in the Conference to Improve College algebra, held at the U. S. MilitaryAcademy, 5 indicated that traditional college algebra courses are not working because they aretaught using outdated content. The conclusions from the conference also indicated that collegealgebra has high D, F, and W rates. The concerns regarding college algebra nationwide arefurther compounded by the fact that college algebra is one of the largest enrollment courses inthe United States. According to the most recent Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences(CBMS) survey conducted in the fall of 2010, college algebra has the largest course enrollmentof all the introductory math courses.6 There is a nationwide call to improve the results in collegealgebra.

One of the most widely knownclassroom assessment techniques is known as muddy points, in which the students are asked towrite down the concept(s) that they found most confusing during that class period.Many large lecture courses use muddy points as an instructional assessment technique that allowsthe instructor to gather information at the end of the class about the topics which are not clear tothe students. Using this information, the amount of lecture time allocated to a specific topic canbe increased or decreased to match students’ feedback and emphasize the areas where thestudents need more support 8. This technique offers a two-way feedback mechanism

Educators must thus be vigilantin monitoring the level of interest they engender in their students during lectures4.One solution as to how to maintain interest is to develop demonstrations to accompanytraditional lecture materials, thereby encouraging students to interact and engage in hands-onlearning.

Althoughsome assessment activities are conducted every year, each group ofoutcomes receives primary attention during alternating years.Not all courses in the curriculum are involved in course-embeddedassessment. The choice of courses is guided by the followingprinciples:  Each Student Outcome will be assessed with student work in a course(s) termed “benchmark course(s).”  Only required (not elective) courses in the program curriculum will be selected as benchmark courses.  Although a benchmark course will likely address multiple Student Outcomes, typically one or two of its learning outcomes will be designated

After working togetherfor two weeks, there were slight changes between the perceived strengths and actual strengthsreported at the end of the collaboration. Although it is difficult to discern the reason(s) for theslight changes, one possible explanation may be the fact that nearly 80% of the students hadprior interdisciplinary experience, and therefore already had some understanding of the strengthsand weaknesses of the other disciplines. The slight changes from the initial to the final surveysmay result from the students working with the other disciplines in a new context that ischallenging
