| Title of Talk | Getting Students to Read a Linear Algebra Text--Methods and Reactions |
| Abstract | Linear algebra may be the first undergraduate course in which is it crucial for students to understand definitions, theorems, and special examples. Exposing students to new material for the first time in class can take up a lot of time and prevent other, deeper material from being covered. This talk will focus on how I have gotten students to write and think about new material that they read on their own, how I have responded to them, and how students have reacted to the experience. |
