Student Perceptions of Online Homework in Preparatory Year Pre-Calculus courses
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The Internet is gradually becoming part and parcel of our lives. As a result, online educational technologies are gaining more acceptance in our educational system. This is more so in higher education. However, online assessment is one aspect of online technologies that has taken time to be accepted by educators. This is primarily due to concerns related to reliability, validity and security of online assessment. This paper presents the results of a study that investigates students’ perceptions of online homework that was recently introduced in our precalculus courses, as compared to conventional paper and pencil homework. Furthermore, we share some qualitative data we observed that should be useful to all mathematics educators, especially those planning to implement online homework. Some important issues related specifically to MyMathLab, which is the platform we are currently using for online homework, together with the major problems students faced in getting accustomed to the online environment will be discussed.

Near Meanness on Special Types of Graphs
The graph that admits a near mean labeling is called a near mean graph (NMG). In this paper, we proved that the graphs Special types of graphs Triangular snake, Quadrilateral snake, , Sm,3, Sm,4 and Parachutes are near m...
On Strongly Multiplicative Graphs
A graph G with p vertices and q edges is said to be strongly multiplicative if the vertices are assigned distinct numbers 1, 2, 3, …, p such that the labels induced on the edges by the product of the end vertices a...

Anti Q-Fuzzy M-Subgroups Of Near Rings
In this paper, we introduce the notion of Q-fuzzification of M-subgroups in a near-ring and investigate some related properties. Characterization of Anti Q-fuzzy M- subgroups with respect to s-norm is given.
