ABSTRACT

Frustrated by students' poor retention of prerequisite knowledge as they move through the calculus sequence? We discuss the power of Maple T.A. to analyze student exam or tutorial results and gather data. An implementation strategy for online calculus assessment and remediation using Maple T.A. is discussed.
