How to Make Time: The Relationships between Concerns about Coverage, Material Covered, Instructional Practices, and Student Success in College Calculus
Page: 722
This report draws on data collected by the Characteristics of Successful Programs in College Calculus project in order to investigate issues around coverage and pacing. This includes identifying what topics are being taught in Calculus I, determining the extent to which instructors and departments feel pressure to cover a set amount of material, and investigating possible relationships between concerns over coverage, instructional practices, and the nature of the material covered at five institutions selected for having successful Calculus programs.
