Abstract

Although many of us are convinced of the pedagogical value of having our students do projects or larger writing assignments, we often find ourselves faced with practical concerns:

Where can I find problem and project ideas?

What makes a problem a good group problem?

How can I structure the assignment to encourage students to make progress throughout the semester?

How should such projects be evaluated?

In this panel discussion, four instructors share their experiences and ideas concerning using projects in mathematics courses.
