In order to evaluate a curriculum, it must be known how students are using it. However, the opportunities for use afforded to students by curriculum are changing with technology. The purpose of this study was to discover how undergraduate students in applied calculus use the written curriculum in their course which included an online homework system. The study drew on three data sources: (a) online survey, (b) observations, and (c) interviews. Students' survey responses indicated that, while not many students referenced the textbook, those that did preferred to use textbooks for finding worked problems, finding formula or definitions, and doing homework problems. The observations and interviews revealed that students responded to negative feedback by checking computations and for formatting errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
