What the Best College Students Do
(http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674066649)

This is the second chapter from this book - this talks about deep learning vs shallow learning and the way in which motivation affects the way information is encoded. Disclaimer: This reading made my students mad.

Is this the end for Facebook...

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0096300317301182 link

This is a cool paper for modeling that I think students could recreate and have a great discussion about. You don't really need a lot of background per se to understand the application area because students can use a lot of their own knowledge about social media. There are also a lot of options to make extensions.

Article Reading Assignments

ArticleReadingAssignments.pdf 54 KB
ArticleReadingAssignments.tex 6 KB

Reading questions for students to consider/answer as they read through math modeling papers. This document is constructed with the idea that a student will read the paper (or portions of the paper) in several passes. The grouping of the questions in Step 1, Step 2, etc., break the questions down into what students might consider in a first pass, a second pass, etc. with an eye towards the student developing a rubric for what makes a well written math modeling paper.

The most well-known test for detecting implicit bias (which we all have!). Taking this test can be an eye-opening experience for faculty and students.

Research Log Template

ResearchLog--Template.pdf 100 KB
ResearchLog--Template.tex 4 KB

Template for research log that I use with my research students. Template contains definition of new commands in TeX for goals, log entries, meeting notes, and reflections. I have students maintain this file in a shared folder while they are doing research. My research students are expected to make goals for each week, a log entry for each day they work on their research project, and a reflection entry at the end of each week.
