A number of instructors say it’s partly reconsidering how calculus, a crucial step toward STEM careers and often a “weed out” course in higher ed, is taught. Noticing this, EdSurge traveled to Harvard this summer to observe one attempt at a more subtle revolution, meant to bring calculus instruction into the 21st century. That was it.

But in college, where she’s a business major, calculus is proving insurmountable. That means students should be given more chances to develop reasoning and problem-solving skills, she says. She says she’s not a math person, but she was able to pass her high school math classes without too much trouble, earning Cs.

Johnson: We have an obligation to think about transforming traditional assignments into something more interactive and problem-solving-based. That wasn't the case. I know that's not always easy to do, but I like that AI is pushing this vision of authentic assessments forward a bit.

For example, in Fall 2020, I decided to remove four big topics from my Calculus class, because I felt the time would be better spent going deep on the other things. Continue: Focusing on solutions while not ignoring problems Finally, I’m committed to continuing to take a problem-solving approach to every situation.

Since math classes progress in a mostly linear way, students have to get fractions to set them up for algebra; and how they do in algebra will likely influence whether they even get to try for advanced courses like calculus, a traditional weed-out metric for lucrative science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers. isn’t working.
