How calculus students at successful programs talk about their instructors
Page: 551
The CSPCC (Characteristics of Successful Programs in College Calculus) project was a 5- year study focused on Calculus I instruction at colleges and universities across the United States with overarching goals of identifying the factors that contribute to successful programs. In this poster, we draw from student focus group interview data collected from schools that were identified by the CSPCC project as being successful. The analyses we will present in this poster will characterize the ways in which calculus students talk about their instructors in an attempt to understand how their perceptions shape their experience.
