This paper describes an approach to the problem of teaching first-year tertiary level mathematics students who have widely varying levels of achievement and ability in mathematics. The evaluation of some aspects of the proposed solution to the problem is based on a semantic differential and a Likert-type questionnaire. (Author/MK)

The annual reports of five subcommittees of the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges' Developmental Mathematics Curriculum Committee (AMATYC-DMC) are preceded by a statement of goals for a remedial mathematics curriculum. The Hand-Held Calculator Subcommittee reported the results of a 12-item questionnaire distributed to college…

A review of objectives for the current five-year plan (1977-1982) and an annual report outlining progress made during 1979 are presented for each sub-committee of the Developmental Mathematics Curriculum Committee (DMCC) of the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC). The sub-committee for hand-held calculators outlines a…
