Fast Track Summer Mathematics Course at South Bank UniversityThe first summer mathematics course ran during July and August of 1997, financed by South Bank University (SBU). In subsequent years the course became HEFCE funded. The Fast Track mathematics course was a specifically designed free summer course to help equip the students with those skills required to enter a degree of Higher National Diploma in science or technology. SBU established the six week daytime course, which helped students identify gaps in their knowledge and provided a tailor made mathematics learning programme. This course now runs every summer to equip new students with the mathematical skills required for a smooth transition into university.
The Maths Revision Booklet as Part of a Programme of Support at University of Newcastle upon TyneComputer-based diagnostic testing has been used for new engineering students for some years at University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Follow-up support has been available only in some departments. In summer 2001, new students were issued (in advance or on arrival) with a â??Maths Revision Bookletâ?? covering the basic maths topics that we didnâ??t intend to teach. Following the diagnostic test, lunchtime classes were offered for six weeks, based on the booklet, for those students who wished to attend.We report on the student opinion, analysis of diagnostic and examination performance.
Diagnostic Testing within Institutions - Keele UniversityAll students are assessed via 20 computer-based multi-choice questions (MCQs). These questions are selected at random from a large question bank, developed jointly by Nottingham and Keele Universities. The main objective is to provide a profile of each studentâ??s mathematical abilities. Each question tests a number of different skills simultaneously and hence contributes to an assessment of the different aspects of this profile. The profile becomes a diagnostic report, which then directs each student to a series of specific modules in â??Mathwiseâ?? that will reinforce their knowledge and correct any problems.
Introduction to mechanicsThis leaflet explains the terms statics and dynamics and provides basic introductory material.
Fractions - basic ideasWhat are fractions? Fractions are ways of writing parts of whole numbers. For
example if we take a pizza, and divide it up equally between 4 people, each
person will have 1/4 or, written in words, one quarter of the pizza.
Responding to the Mathematics Problem : The Implementation of Institutional Support MechanismsThis volume arose from a conference, 'Addressing the Quantitative Skills Gap: Establishing
and Sustaining Cross-Curricular Mathematical Support in Higher Education', held at the
University of St Andrews in 2007. The aim of that conference, and of this volume of
collected essays, is to explore the logistics and economics of establishing and sustaining
institution-wide mathematics support provision.
We explore a range models for delivering mathematical support accommodating an even
wider range of budgets. Additionally, we identify how universities can call upon their maths
support provision to demonstrate that they are addressing institutional agendas including
quality enhancement, employability and skills, the first year experience, flexible delivery,
retention, and the student learning experience. Looking to the future we note how
mathematics support has broadened from its original focus on the STEM subjects and
discuss how emerging technologies are being exploited for its provision.
Summary of work in mathematical sciences HE curriculum innovationThis booklet presents summaries of the work completed under the Mathematical Sciences HE Curriculum Innovation Project from 2010-12 and provides links to access the resources produced. Work is presented on: developing graduate skills from within the curriculum and by engaging with employers; making available industrial problems in maths and stats; teaching and assessing problem solving; mathematical thinking; student support; inclusive curricula; non-traditional methods of assessment; use of audio-visual media in teaching and learning. This report was edited by Peter Rowlett. This report is not made available under a Creative Commons licence but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use.
Diagnostic Testing within Institutions - Cardiff UniversityAll students are assessed using a paper-based, but optically marked, written test of 12 multi-choice questions (MCQs). The test covers algebraic simplification, approximation, logs, trigonometry and calculus. It is based on a test developed at Coventry University. It is used to assess students' strengths upon entry.
Extending the table of derivativesThis unit extends the basic table and produces a more complete and therefore more useful table.
Rules of arithmeticEvaluating expressions involving numbers is one of the basic tasks in
arithmetic. But if an expression is complicated then it may not be clear
which part of it should be evaluated first, and so some rules must be
established. There are also rules for calculating with negative numbers.
MSOR Connections Vol. 11 No. 3 HE STEM Special IssueThis special issue of MSOR Connections is themed around work undertaken as part of the National HE STEM Programme. This includes work organised by the Network under the Mathematical Sciences HE Curriculum Innovation Project and work organised by other HE STEM partners. Work is reported in sections. The first contains an account of our HE Mathematics Curriculum Summit and work which addresses the recommendations for curriculum development made by that Summit. The remainder of the articles are arranged according to several areas of activity: graduate skills; employer engagement; mathematical thinking; technology; inclusive curricula; engineering maths; outreach and widening participation through schools and colleges. This edition was edited by Peter Rowlett. This report is not made available under a Creative Commons licence but is freely available to UK universities for non-commerical educational use.

Diagnostic Driven Support at UMISTStudents arriving in many of the UMIST departments are required to take a brief maths test on arrival. Mathematics students who underachieve on this test are assigned some questions relevant to sections where they did poorly and also referred to sections from texts and Internet notes. The student�¢??s attempt at the assigned questions acts as a basis for a feedback session. Certain students in other departments (receiving mathematics as a service course) are asked to complete a computerised assignment on areas where they underachieved. Again, they are provided with references to texts and Internet notes.
