NISOD Innovation Abstracts #21


John Shiber, Professor of Biological Science at Prestonsburg Community College (KY), in "Scared Stiff: The Fear of Algebra," shares the elements he has identified as critical to reducing the anxiety that students experience in approaching and in required math courses (a critical course for students enrolled in his chemistry classes, in particular). His observations and recommends steps for improving student performance are drawn from responses to questionnaires completed by high school and college student cohorts, and college faculty.
