Math/Stat
Department's Greatest Assets
Graduation
Date:
I
think I am fully prepared to teach any field of Mathmatics and would even like to continue my own mathmatic education.
Graduation
Date:
Same as #3
Graduation
Date:
Inside the classroom I
learned more about math than I ever realized existed. I'm stronger in some areas than others,
certainly, but at least I know
something about the higher, more
complicated, and abstract areas of math, even if it's simply tht these subjects exist! Outside of the classroom, I
learned how to work with a
partner or team, and that more than one brain is often required to prove a
theorem!

Graduation
Date:
I
received a strong content knowledge of mathematics and various educational
processes in teaching mathematics.
Graduation

Dr.
xxxx and Dr. yyyy great ideas
for making classrooms fun and interactive.
Graduation
Date:
The
methods courses gave valuable information, and the student teaching and field
experience were invaluable in preparing me to become a teacher.
Graduation
Date:
challenging yet fair
courses
Graduation
Date:
I
feel as though I am graduating with a tremendous amount of mathematical
knowledge, thanks to the department.
Graduation
Date:
The
professors in the Mathematics and Statistics Department are truely wonderful.
They challenge their students and make the material
comprehendable. They are willing to help students during
their free time and in general do a great job teaching.
Graduation
Date:
I
think the methods of teaching courses are great and give many helpful ways to
teach.
Graduation
Date:
I
loved the history of math class and the methods of teaching math classes. I wish I had more methods classes
because that is what I will use the
most when
teaching.
Graduation Date:
The
greatest asset from the Math Dept was the level of challenge the classes
provided. My math classes forced me
to really slow down and work
hard in order to fully
understand the material. These
classes also helped me learn how to 'think'--particularly, to think
analytically; I feel that this skill
will be very
beneficial to me in the future.
Additionally, the methods classes were very worthwhile, giving me insight
to the newest teaching
philosophies and methods, and I had
the opportunity to try out many of these methods and ideas in my student
teaching and JPE.
Graduation
Date:
I
entered with an aversion to statistics and geometry...I'm leaving loving them,
due as much to the professors as the actual subject.
Graduation
Date:
The
methods class gave me some good activities that I have tried in the
classroom.
Graduation
Date:
I
feel that Methods II really prepared me to teach middle school
Graduation
Date:
The
math and stat department was always willing to help. Professors made it quite
clear that they were always ready and willing to help students.
Graduation
Date:
I
feel that the math program is challenging.
I was fortunate enough to have some really great professors, some of whom
inspired me to pursue
other academic goals in my
future. I feel that I will be
successful in graduate school because I was so well challenged in my program at
the math
department.
Graduation
Date:
The
best thing about the Math department is Dr. xxxx. She
is the best role model for teaching that I have seen. She not only communicates her
information to her students
effectively but she shows true compassion for them as well.

The
faculty in the mathematics department are very
supportive and really were there for me when I was in their classes. They wanted you not only to
do well but also to
understand the concepts.I am going away with not only
knowledge from my classes but understanding of mathematical concepts.
Also methods on how to
teach mathematics.
