Over the past several years, Calculus I has undergone a completeoverhaul that has involved a movement from a collection of independent, uncoordinated,personalized, lecture-based sections, into a single coherent multi-section course with an active-learning pedagogical approach. The overhaul also significantly impacted the course content andlearning

Every effort is made to create an atmosphere in which studentsand the instructor work together to improve communications skills. The students do a semester-long project that requires a written report and a final oral presentation. Throughout the course,students are assigned a series of short essays and presentations, receive detailed feedback, revisethe written assignments, and use comments on oral presentations to improve their performancethe next time.Since this paper is about peer review of oral presentations, the focus will be on two of the oralpresentations assigned in NUCL 580 and peer review of those presentations.

Often, these methods are deemed“student centered”, as the mastery of the concepts falls on the students to understand theimportance of the material from the problems or projects.11 Overall, inductive teaching styleshave more student benefits than deductive teaching methods. Inductive teaching methods offermore combinations to reach the learning style needs of the classroom and engage students moreactively in the subject matter.Student Perceptions in the ClassroomSatisfaction, self-efficacy, motivation, and classroom environment are the main factors in
