At research institutions, faculty are tasked with coordinating core courses that are required of a large number of students. At the Colorado School of Mines, all students are required to take Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III, and many students are required to a number of other courses. In this talk, I'll discuss my own experiences with coordination at the Colorado School of Mines and related research. In particular, I will share some of our current coordination practices as well as implementations of flipped learning in Calculus II (published work) and alternative grading in Calculus I (preliminary results).
