Learning Glass and Team-Based Learning in Methods of Applied Mathematics

Methods of Applied Mathematics I is a required course in various STEM majors, and forms part of a triple bottleneck in Physics. This CRT project aims to consolidate an active learning approach to teach Methods of Applied Mathematis I (MATH 342A). The course has a flipped structure that combines online Learning Glass lectures with in-class Team-Based Learning. The Aligned Activities document integrates the learning goals, activities, and resources for each class. Students use this document to prepare for the class using archived online lectures, lecture notes, the textbook, basic exercises, and online homework. In class, students work in more challenging problems as a team. Each team is permanent thteams to produce a consensus version of the homework and solve additional problems as a group.
