I would like to learn about proven strategies and research to improve learning for students in developmental mathematics courses. I would like to become knowledgeable about the way the brain learns material and also gain knowledge of assessment techniques, collaborative learning, and other methods that help learning. The research and proven strategies that I learn will be the driving force in creating the active learning notes. I will justify aspects of the study notes through the research results. The active learning notes will guide the students through the material, give the students a good notebook to study and thus learn the material, and provide the student with a clear organization of the course. There will be additional formative and summative assessments in a WebCT6 component to help supplement the active learning notes. The active learning notes will be the main resource for the students in the MAT0024C course. This will replace the textbook.
