The students who took thesurvey received scores broken into four categories, see (1), ranging from -11 to 11 each foractive/reflective learners, sensory/intuitive, visual/verbal, and sequential/global where -11 meanshighest to the left category and 11 means highest to the right category. The absolute value of thedifference between each of their scores versus their respective instructor’s score in the samecategory was then taken. Those four differences were then added. The

The proposed experiment will ease thecomplexities involved in the learning of calculus students by using experimental centric pedagogy(ECP), which entails providing simple yet relevant experiments that would boost the students’interest in this field. The concepts of differentiation and integration would be practicallydemonstrated to students using Hooke’s law, velocity, acceleration with respect to time, and rulerexperiment. The project would employ readily available utilities to demonstrate integration anddifferentiation
