Planning to Succeed in a Computer-Centered Mathematics Classroom
Page: 368
Most developmental mathematics students in community colleges, particularly those of color, are unsuccessful and fail to reap the benefits of higher education. In-class computer-centered (ICCC) classes are a possible solution to this issue because students work independently at computers during class time while instructors facilitate learning by answering students’ questions. This case study focuses on one student’s ICCC classroom experience by focusing on how the student’s plan to pass the course were validated by the classroom environment. Ultimately, that plan was insufficient to address the needs of the student.
