Abstract

We explore using a "Study Challenge" to help students become active studiers in mathematics courses. We describe how a Study Challenge works and how we implemented it in calculus and differential equations courses. We discuss qualitative reactions from students who accepted the Study Challenge, which suggest that this might be a useful tool for students to add to their exam preparation toolbox. Finally, we offer some suggestions for implementing a Study Challenge within the mathematics classroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
