Mathematics 591 - Curriculum Analysis and Classroom Behavior

Preparing for the first day of class - some practical notes on what to expect and what to do

First Day Project - one way to handle the first day of class, with .pdf files for the handouts

Background surveys give you an idea who your students are.  I've prepared ones for Math 095 /  Math 120 / Math 128

You can take attendance and learn people's names using an attendance chart.  You can download pdf files for a classroom with 8 rows of 4 seats each or 10 rows of 5 seats each.  You can download Excel spreadsheets for the 8 by 4 and 10 by 5 charts, then you can modify them yourselves.  The spreadsheets are originally from Jason Hasbrouck.

Computer resources for Math 591/592 - guides to using Word, making web pages, Maple, and LaTeX.
