These situations involved faculty, staff, and students. Since becoming aware ofthe situations, the department has spent considerable time addressing inclusivity. All facultyattended microaggression and inclusion training (see below). Inclusion training has been addedto the new vertically integrated design project courses (see below) that will be required of allstudents. One faculty piloted a syllabus that includes a policy on microaggressions andharassment. The Department has prompted University’s Center for Teaching and Learning tolead the establishment of a

Yet,as a result of both growth and lack of coordination between instructional faculty, a situation haddeveloped by 2005-6 which students, the mathematics department, and others recognized asbeing problematic. At that time, from a student’s perspective, it appeared to matter more, “whoyou took,” than “what you learned” in terms of their chances of passing the course.1 This wassupported by pass rate data; the average pass rate in 2005-6 was 51% and ranged from 30% to90% depending on who taught the course.2 The variation in pass rate was a confounding

For this paper, traditional teaching means the main actor is the teacher by lecturingmost of the sessions with minimal or no participation from the students, and with a heavy use ofchalk and blackboard by the teacher. In a traditional class, the instructor explains the topic,solves some exercises, and asks students to solve some others. Then, homework is assigned
