Calculus I has been determined to be a major roadblock for students pursuing programs in science and engineering. In an effort to improve student chances for success, an study was devised that centered around structured notetaking for Calculus I students. The study explores two questions: Will a structured notetaking procedure improve a student's performance in Calculus I? Do students perceive the structured notetaking procedure as being beneficial to their study of calculus? The answer to the first question was determined by using the Calculus I class from the previous year as the control group. Each class was given three tests and a final exam. A t-test and an analysis of covariance were performed on this data. The findings showed that while the student success rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, it was not statistically significantly higher. The answer to the second question was found by evaluating and responding daily to the student's notes. Twice during the semester students were asked for a written evaluation of the project. Analysis of the comments showed that the percentage of those who felt the project was helpful was greater at the end of the semester than at the beginning. |
