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.

Contra g#p-Continuous Functions
A function f: (X,τ) → (Y,σ) is called g#p-continuous[2] if f-1(V) is g#p-closed in(X,τ) for every closed set V in (Y,σ). The notion of contra continuity was introduced and investigated by Dontchev[6]. In this paper we in...
