Calculus with WebWork and Just-in-time Remediation

The redesigned course will use online homework available through WebWork, together with Supplemental Instruction. The online homework will use existing problems in the WebWork library where appropriate problems exist, but we expect that we will need to write more conceptually oriented problems. We will work on constructing “Just-in-time” adaptive sequences of problems that address the gaps in student understanding. Some of these problems may be those used in our related redesign projects in precalculus and college algebra. Along the way we hope to gain a fuller picture of our students. We want to answer the question “Why didn’t they get that?” Often the reason is some deficit from years back in their education.
