JotSpot - ExamView - Good Questions for Calculus
"The Cornell University Mathematics Department's Good Questions Project has developed and made available a set of multiple-choice GoodQuestions, checks of student understanding for use with a CRS [like CPS] during introductory calculus classes." (Description taken from Vanderbilt's Center for Teaching - See reference).
My sister, Dr. Linda Fahlberg-Stojanovska (see Partners), and many of her students recently converted Dr. Maria Terrell's "Good Questions for Calculus" into ExamView format. By converting these questions to ExamView we hope that more educators will use these questions to improve student learning in calculus a) by using them during class to stimulate discussion (their original purpose), b) by using them as the basis of Whiteboard Movies (aka mathcasts) created by students, and c) by using them in new & creative ways!
Thank you Linda and your wonderful students from FYR Macedonia for helping flatten the world and make it better by investing so many hours to convert these 146 excellent questions! We're very grateful to all of you!
More information about these questions as well as the research that's been done to test their effectiveness may be found below the table or here: "Using Student Response Systems."
