College Algebra Meets Biology: Flipping with Zaption and Focus on Algebra Study Skills

The current College Algebra course will be redesigned for Life Science majors. We will focus our redesign on the following aspects of the course: Introduction of biology applications and focus on mathematical concepts relevant to life sciences majors; assessment of incoming algebra skills and strengthening of algebra skills through active learning in the workshop component; proper mathematics studying skills to improve retention of skills and concepts to increase student success in subsequent courses; use of videos enhanced with Zaption for flipping the classroom.
