Because of the nature and speed of the course, and problems, students areencouraged to work together on the homework assignments, both during class time and inthe evening.Each day the previous day’s assignment is turned in by 8:05 AM, the start of class. Thecounselors grade the assignment during the morning, and return the assignments to thestudents at 1:30 PM each afternoon, at the problem session. The assignments are gradedas E for excellent above 90% correct; S for satisfactory, above 80% correct; and U forunsatisfactory for below 80% correct. Any student who receives a U on an assignmentmust redo all the problems the student missed and resubmit the assignment. Theassignment is not considered passed until all missed problems are done

The discussions were extensive in the discourse of the non-mentored professor; however, these were not part of a classroom experience design based on the critical reflection of the instructor, as it was the case for the mentored professor. TG students had access to computers to use GeoGebra to work individually and collectively. In contrast, in the CG, students had no access to computers, and although some accessed through their smartphones, most of the times was the instructor the only one using GeoGebra to make explanations to the students, while they listened passively.It is evident the positive impact that the redesign of the learning activities had on the learningenvironment from the perspective of the student´s particular
