with a lower GPA are more likely toopt for CR/GC/NC grading. Figure 1: Different races vs (a) fraction of APMA courses taken for CR/GC/NC (b) overall GPA.For the Spring 20 semester data, we also used k-Nearest Neighbor clustering, to predict whether students,who have taken at least 1 course from APMA, would choose at least one CR/NC (not necessarily APMA).The accuracy of our k-NN model is 76% despite our low sample size. This model includes all answersto survey questions and demographic and it is less interpretable.Section 2: Analysis of Majors of Survey ParticipantsWe specifically asked the students 1) if they faced problems due to the pandemic that made workingtowards their degrees difficult, 2) if they opted for CR/GC/NC because they were

Topics 3(Applications of Angles), 8 (Congruent Triangles), 9 (Similar Triangles), 10 (Thales’s Theorem),15 (Applications of Right Triangles), 17 (Oblique Triangles), and 18 (Applications of ObliqueTriangles) required the students three or more attempts to show proficiency. In general,trigonometry is a high school subject disliked and mastered by very few students; while moststudents find it challenging, others strongly dislike it [16]. This perception may explain theoverall behavior of the students throughout this unit. b. Student’s PerceptionSeveral factors are critical in the design of a virtual course. For example, the quality of theeducational resources, the effectiveness of content

started to raise reflections about: (a) theobjective of the undergraduate program in which Mathematics is being taught; (b) how tomotivate the student of this undergraduate program to learn Mathematics; (c) how to link thisscience with the future profession of the student; (d) how Mathematics can contribute to theintegral formation of the student and, finally, (e) how this science can support thedevelopment of professional competences [16].In TMCC, the concept of competence is understood as “cognitive mobilization of theattributes of a professional to face a problematic situation by making use of the integration ofall their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values” [17].TMCC has a social nature, since it is concerned with teaching Mathematics for

Her re- search focuses on what factors influence diverse students to choose and persist in STEM. Particularly, she is interested in the development and cultivation of students’ STEM identities and the potential protective element these identities have in student retention.

. It willcontain several fully worked example problems. The problems will contain the useof the above functions where students only use a calculator to calculate the firstthree terms given in the above formulas. It is intended only as a learning resourceand can be used by any math or engineering educator.The example problems will emphasize the use of the right triangle ratios b/c, a/c,and b/a as the dependent variable. Graphs of sine and cosine will also be givenwith the vertical axis labeled as y/A and x/A as opposed to simply y. It will beplotted this way, because students have difficulty understanding why the righttriangle length ratios simply disappear when graphing the trigonometric functions.This supplemental chapter will hopefully

Going through junior high and high school, I realized that I did not have to study muchor study at all to make the grades I wanted. This all changed when I started my freshman year inengineering.
