in undergraduate classes, adding that “steps to increase attendance, including making attendance mandatory, may deserve serious consideration” (p. 167). This study addresses that point, and provides a method which has worked extremely well in calculus classes with approximately 50 students. The second issue is how to improve the writing skills of calculus students before it is too late for them to realistically major in mathematics.

orchestra as a musician. This thought process though becomes flawed when we put people in demeaning categories for reasons that do not correlate with those traits. This is called stereotyping. By stereotyping we negatively affect people’s identities. In a study by Capobianco, she examined exactly how this sense of identity has affected how girls have picked their future careers.
