George Woodbury’s Blogarithm. MyMathLab FAQ (Updated 12/4). Start of the Semester. I give my students the first 5 minutes of class to discuss their answers with their groups. I then take attendance, one group at a time, and ask for one of the answers. It is working out to be a great way to get students to warm up for class, and my classes seem to be more participatory this semester. January 30, 2012 at 9:53 am.

George Woodbury’s Blogarithm. MyMathLab FAQ (Updated 12/4). ICTCM and What’s On The Way. March 26, 2012 at 1:45 pm. I just got back from the 24th ICTCM, and, as usual, I am full of great ideas that I picked up. There were two trends that I saw – Pencasts and Simulations. Matt Davis (Chabot College) did a great job, and he has some fantastic simulations. You can find him through a quick Google search for “Matt Davis Chabot”, and he seems pretty willing to share. (Tell him I sent you...One other blog se...

George Woodbury’s Blogarithm. MyMathLab FAQ (Updated 12/4). Mastery Learning – Grading System. March 29, 2012 at 8:55 am. As I mentioned in the previous blog. I have started using a mastery learning based grading system in my developmental math courses. I give 6 tests in each course. These tests are worth 0 points if the student scores below 70% or 1 point if the student scores 70% or higher. Take note that the online scores do not directly count to a student’s overall grade in any fashion. There are 125...

Online Teaching – As Satisfying As Face To Face? | George Woodbury's Blogarithm

George Woodbury’s Blogarithm. MyMathLab FAQ (Updated 12/4). Online Teaching – As Satisfying As Face To Face? August 18, 2014 at 1:48 pm. I have started to use Facebook group pages as a way to increase interaction. It’s a great place to post supplementary information, photos, and videos. My students use it to ask each other questions and to provide support. It’s also nice to have a backup site to communicate through in case the course server crashes. Entry filed under: Math.

Getting the Most From Homework | George Woodbury's Blogarithm
https://georgewoodbury.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/getting-the-most-from-homework
George Woodbury’s Blogarithm. MyMathLab FAQ (Updated 12/4). Getting the Most From Homework. September 10, 2013 at 3:26 pm. Here is a blog I have cross-posted from my Elements of Game Design in Math Class blog: http:/ gameelementsmath.wordpress.com/. I think it’s important to consider why we do homework, and to make sure our students understand that the goal is learning and understanding, not just accumulating points or doing busy work. Let me know what you think – George. Leveling Up, But Not Passing?
