Abstract: This paper will compare and contrast the performance to students exposed to two different methods of teaching a vector calculus class. One calculus class was taught using traditional lecture methods, while the other was taught via a modified Moore method. While the sample sizes were small, the differences between the two populations will be discussed, as will differences between the performance of students who continued into the ``Introduction to Proofs'' course from the Calculus III courses mentioned above.
