    2006-Michelle_LeMasurier-Nonstandard Topics for Student Presentations in Differential Equations
    An interesting and effective way to showcase the wide variety of fields to which differential equations can be applied is to have students give short oral presentations on a specific application.

    1990-Winkel_Brian-First-year_calculus_students_as_in-class_consultants
    We demonstrate how we use traditional text book calculus problems to involve first year calculus students as consultants. Students are asked to solve a “real world” problem after interviewing a “guest” client –a printer.
