relativelyconstant; however, profound changes were made across all sections in terms of pedagogy,homework, timing of course content, grade computation and exam content.  The motivation for focusing on Calculus I arose from a five-year National Science FoundationScience Talent Expansion Program grant that was awarded in 2010 to a multi-disciplinary teamthat spanned engineering, mathematics and science. A major grant objective was to raise first-semester, full-time retention of students in STEM majors. The projects supported several year-long faculty learning communities (FLCs) of about 10 instructors each.
