Threshold Concepts and Undergraduate Mathematics Teaching [PDF]
PRIMUS, 2016 AbstractTraditionally, many undergraduate mathematics courses have been defined in terms of mathematical content and the techniques in which students should become proficient or theorems they should be able to prove. This can result in a reliance on shallow or rote learning by students, despite the fact that the main goal of a mathematics lecturer1 is ...
