Overall Research Project Description The focus of this study is to determine the efficacy of a new MAC1105/MAC1105C (college algebra/college algebra with corequisite lab requirement) Course Shell which makes use of alternative assessments to supplement or replace online multiple choice exams.

Research Tasks Collaborate to develop interview protocols and questions; literature review; conduct interviews; participate in (double blind) data collection; qualitative data analysis

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Basic Microsoft Excel proficiency (required); familiarity with NVIvO software (recommended)

Mentoring Philosophy I believe that the mind that does the thinking does the learning. As a mentor I value collaboration, inquiry, band open communication. All participants will be included as authors on any manuscripts developed as part of the study.

Please provide a link to your publications, a video clip, or a website for your research project (if applicable): {Empty}

Please add any additional information here (if applicable): In addition to being a doctoral candidate in Educational Policy and Program Evaluation, I am a full time Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Tallahassee Community College. Two professors, myself and a colleague, will be piloting the new assessments in our classes. The primary role of student researchers will be in managing the random selection of students from all participating course sections, assigning a unique identifier to selected students, and tracking performance data across the fall semester so that neither the students nor my colleague or I, know which students are study participants.
