Introductory Math Seminar: Choosing Your First Math Class

Dr. Monique Harrison will be sharing her work with the Harvard Math Department, the conclusion of a survey and interview study in the Fall 2023 semester. Math courses at Harvard serve the majority of undergraduates who matriculate and often can have large impacts on subsequent student decision-making. She will discuss the findings of this study, which targeted first-year course selection and course experiences. Implications for department and university policies will be discussed.
