Direct linkFaudree, Jill – PRIMUS, 2021
We describe how one department moved from skepticism to wide-spread embrace of coordinated Calculus I. Data played a crucial role in this process. Details of this journey, including successful strategies and missteps, may provide insight and perspective to other departments starting on, or immersed in, similar transformational adventures.

Vandenbussche, Jennifer; Ritter, Lake; Callahan, Kadian M.; Westlund, Erik E. – PRIMUS, 2021
In this article, the authors propose a department-level curricular committee structure, called Strand Committees, as a mechanism to facilitate oversight and enact significant change to policies and practices in specific courses. The primary goal of the Strand Committees is improving both student success and instruction while upholding a high…

Schroeder, Larissa Bucchi; McGivney-Burelle, Jean; Haruta, Mako E.; Xue, Fei – PRIMUS, 2018
At the University of Hartford we transformed our approach to Calculus I--moving it away from a lecture-dominant format to one that focuses squarely on students solving problems and discussing and presenting their mathematical ideas for the majority of class time. In this article, we discuss our Flipping Calculus project and how a departmental…

Maciejewski, Wes; Bragelman, John; Campisi, Marion; Hsu, Tim; Gottlieb, Andrea; Schettler, Jordan; Bergthold, Trisha; Cayco, Bem – PRIMUS, 2021
Our university is one campus of the larger, 23-campus California State University system. In 2017, the Chancellor of the system discontinued the developmental mathematics programs at all 23 campuses. This caught us by surprise and compelled us to act quickly. This article gives an overview of our response, highlighting the change our department…

Bazett, Trefor; Clough, Crystal L. – PRIMUS, 2021
Our department has experienced a significant culture transformation in its approach to teaching. This change is primarily the result of sustained focus on reforming two heavily coordinated sequences, Applied Calculus and Calculus. Initially catalyzed by pilot projects introducing a flipped-class format to these courses, the reforms led to broader…
