Preparing students for university mathematics through a maths readiness workshop

First year science students often lack confidence at the start of their course regarding their mathematical skills. A maths readiness workshop has been designed at Monash University Gippsland campus to give students confidence in their mathematical ability prior to the beginning of semester. It also helps students to identify very early if they should opt in to the various maths support programs offered at the campus. The workshop has been designed in conjunction with first year coordinators to specifically target mathematical content relevant to first year biology and chemistry including rearranging formulae, logarithms and exponentials, and physical quantities and their units. Students self-select into the workshop based on a short presentation during O-week activities. Results of student evaluations and reflections of the facilitators will be presented. Barbie C.

Maths E.G.

An e-assessment system containing almost 2000 mathematics questions with random parameters and feedback spanning topics from GCSE to undergraduate level 2. Each question in the database will generate thousands of examples, each with fully-worked solutions. The MSOR Network supported the development of questions in elementary discrete mathematics (sets, logic and graph theory) as part of the National HE STEM Programme. Maths E.G. is delivered under a Creative Commons BY-SA licence.
