The VAMS survey was used in 210 and 495 in Fall 2021, with similar results to previous years. In Math 210, the threshold was reached in "3b: Meaningful Understanding". In Math 495, the threshold was reached in "1: Nature of Math", while other thresholds were not met.

The F19 VAMS survey data shows the proportion of "desired responses" in MTH 210 have increased by 7 to 10 percentage points relative to the baseline F17 results in the Nature of Math, Learning Conditions, and Meaningful Learning subareas.

2018 Status
Not Yet Achieved
Results in MTH 495 (end of program) compare favorably to the early-program MTH 210 results, suggesting a positive impact of the curriculum on students beliefs about mathematics in several areas by the end of their capstone course. However, the results fell just below the desired threshold this cycle. A relatively low response rate in MTH 495 makes it difficult to draw robust conclusions, so that will need to be addressed in future cycles.

2017 Status
Not Yet Achieved
Results in each category increased between MTH 210 and MTH 495. The results for MTH 495 (n=8) exceeded the threshold in all categories and met the target in two categories.

Students continue to show that productive views about mathematics are widely held by our majors at both the sophomore and senior level.

2019 Status
Not Yet Achieved
Aggregate ATMI survey results from W17, W18, and W19 reveal that math majors have productive attitudes about mathematics in each of the five domains measured by the ATMI survey: Value, Enjoyment, Anxiety (reverse coded), Confidence, and Motivation. The results were strong for both sophomores and seniors.

Results are even stronger than the baseline data: Row A = 94%, Row B = 100% (previously 75% and 88%, respectively)

2021 Status
Not Yet Achieved
In Fall 2021, there were 23 students assessed. The students at proficient or above on the three elements of the rubric were 83%, 74%, and 57% respectively. There were 57% of students at proficient or above in all three areas.

2020 Status
Not Yet Achieved
Our results show that students are strong in using matrix multiplication to solve applied problems, nearly met expectations to use linear combinations to understand key patterns in applied problems, and need additional opportunities to hone their skills in interpreting results/solutions of applied problems. Math 204 instructors will review these results and determine learning activities to further support students' learning in these areas.
