Abstract
\nSome mathematics professors engage their students in discourse and explorations to promote a deep understanding of critical concepts. Still, lecture remains the norm in mathematics courses according to current mathematics students\u2019 survey responses (Mostly Lecture 52%; Lecture & Discussions 35%; n = 89). Students were asked the best way for them to learn mathematics, whether their career plans are teaching related (Teaching Related: Yes 22%; Not Sure 36%; No 42%), and what they enjoy, and want to change about their mathematics courses. Students requested \u201cmore discussions, and more questions to solve in class,\u201d and regarding lecture stated that \u201cthis is an unacceptable way to teach,\u201d and that \u201cit is the worst way to learn.\u201d Students\u2019 perspectives on effective teaching and learning are critical for their continued passion to pursue mathematics and STEM related fields, rather than stating that \u201cI do not love mathematics anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
