Description
Open-ended evaluated class projects provide an opportunity for students to take ownership of mathematical ideas, develop persistence, and enhance skills in communicating mathematics. By allowing students to choose project topics, they can engage with material that is relevant to their lives and interests. In this talk, I will reflect on my experiences in working with undergraduate students on student-driven projects, presenting some examples from an upper-level mathematical modeling course.
