The seminar focuses on evidenced-based teaching in undergraduate mathematics. It will feature internal and external speakers and workshops to contribute to the professional development of graduate students and faculty. Seminar topics will include classroom practices, assessment, curriculum development, equity, how students learn, and structures for sustaining change.

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).

A large part of mathematical maturity is being able to communicate a solution to a problem clearly, as well as being able to justify to a reader that the proposed solution is correct. Even so, good communication is generally not emphasized in high school and undergraduate mathematics instruction, leaving assessment of student comprehension largely up to the instructor's interpretation. In this talk, I will discuss how MATH 2400 has attempted to improve student communication on free response exam questions by introducing a communication component to free response rubrics. I will also discuss how we have attempted to prepare both students and instructors for this new aspect of assessment.
