Improving Student Success Rate With Online Homework

摘要

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how online homework improves student success rates in PreCalculus and Calculus I courses. WeBWorK, provided by the Mathematical Association of America, was adopted as the online homework system. In the spring of 2013, the system was implemented in two classes, one section of PreCalculus and one section of Calculus I. As a result, the pass rates of both sections with WeBWorK were well above other sections without WeBWorK (about 17% higher). This paper also shows how the WeBWorK system was used.
