The Math You Need, When You Need It: Online Modules That Remediate Mathematical Skills in Introductory Geoscience Courses

Journal of College Science Teaching—September/October 2011

This project uses a just-in-time and necessity approach to mathematical learning, with online modular tutorials assigned prior to students encountering a quantitative concept in a geoscience context. Pre- and posttest scores show that the modules used in conjunction with a geoscience course sucessfully increase students' quantitative skills.
