Wolfram|Alpha Homework Day: Interview with College Math Instructor Maria Andersen

Maria,
I also liked the way you explained some of the ways teaching has changed AND most importantly, the idea that we tend to teach the way we were taught. Making that explicit in the mass mind is key to understanding your final statements about comparing, for instance, testing. I am old enough to have used a slide rule in math class in high school, and I’m not at all sure I learned logarithms then they way I know them now (having learned again without a slide rule). Great job!
