Observations on How Students Approach E-Mathematics Courses
Get PDFAs a part-time mathematics faculty member, I have had many opportunities to work with avariety of students using various online mathematics platforms. I have made some observations about howstudents approach e-mathematics courses. Here, I report on my experiences of how students,developmental mathematics students in particular, approach e-mathematics courses, point to possiblereasons students do not fare as well as we would like in these courses, and discuss approaches I andcolleagues have used to better support students when using e-resources
Late Preclassic to Early Classic Maya Transition and Patterns
No full textThe Late Preclassic period in the Maya Lowlands experienced major changes that led to the transition of the Early Classic Maya. The anthropogenic changes and climate change that developed and progressed in the Late Preclassic era, led the people of this period to develop new technology, traditions, trade and migration to overcome their unexpected challenges. The deforestation of the lowlands caused changes to the lands that affected their source of vegetation and water management. They were also experiencing lack of rain which was unusual for their environment. They had to develop new technology in order to collect water for their crops, animals, and themselves. Larger sites had a difficult time trying to keep up with the changes and taking care of their large sized population. This gave an advantage to the smaller sites and many overcame these struggles and later developed into larger sites in the Classic Period. The shift in site strength and growth led to new trade systems that continued into the Early Classic Period. The migration of the people also opened up new doors to trade, but also traditions. They brought their customs into their new homes and these customs changes and transitioned into new traditions in the Classic Period.
