Understanding Students: Mathematics from Another Angle
Effective teachers know both their subject and their audience. As students arrive with goals and backgrounds that differ markedly from our own, how should we adjust? Should we adjust at all? How do we arrange to keep the good, and discard the unecessary? Indeed, how do we tell which is which, since we do not all agree? In this talk I will talk about how I think students have changed, and how we might respond. I will suggest one way of gauging the success of our efforts.
