Page: 980
Using the Mathematical Association of America’s Characteristics of Successful Programs in College Calculus dataset (CSPCC) of 13,965 students from a variety of institutions nationwide, student characteristics and experiences were analyzed via pre- and post-course survey responses. This research evaluated the effect of student background, student-reported teaching behaviors, and institutional environments on academic achievement and student confidence. The findings of this research could lead to a better understanding of the impact of calculus teaching practices and the implications of retaking calculus for students of all experience levels.
