Awful
Incredibly messy, her lectures and notes were just everywhere. Very little organization, so much so that you have no idea what your grade is until the semester is finished. Avoid this teacher at all costs.

Awful
Professor Webre is the most unorganized teacher I've ever had. She seems super nervous when she teaches and does not offer a lot of assistance to the students. Also, she does not put your grade on TRACS, and she has a really complicated way to calculate it if you want to know what you've got. Not a very helpful professor. Don't take her!

Awful
She is an awful teacher in Mathematics. She does not explain the lecture well and will gets mad if students ask questions. She's very unorganized and her notes were all over the place. She also missed several classes and office hours to time spent with her boyfriend. She even got a substitute that did not know much about the subject. Do not take her class.

Awful
Do not take Prof. Webre!! She is very disorganized. I believe she shouldn't be teaching at all. She had trouble with technology almost every class which makes it hard for us to take notes. Until the last week of class, she does not put in grades, making it unclear of what our grade is throughout the sem.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN GEOMETRY CLASSROOMS
CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN GEOMETRY CLASSROOMS
Mathematics Instruction for English Language Learners (MIELL) is a CAREER research project funded by the National Science Foundation to Texas State University. The main research goal of this project is to empirically estimate whether and which classroom factors contribute to mathematics learning gains of English Language Learners (ELL).\nThe main educational goal is to develop instructional activities for educators that are research-based and focus on the mathematics needed to teach ELL efficiently. The emphasis is on mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT)
knowledge of students as English Language Learners
and the mathematical quality of instruction (MQI) in middle grade classrooms. Teachers were surveyed about their mathematical knowledge for teaching and education background during professional development sessions. In addition
they were videotaped 3 times during the school year to capture general quality of mathematics instruction and ELL teaching strategies. Students learning gains were obtained using state standardized assessments. The research study follows a primarily quantitative method
educational production function design. The goal is to predict English Language Learners’ gains in mathematics achievement on standardized tests from the resources possessed mainly by teachers and to explain differences in achievement. Preliminary analysis utilizing appropriate HLM models is showing that most the factors that contribute to the learning gains are related to the quality of mathematical tasks and teaching strategies that afford ELLs linguistic diversity such as emphasis in the meaning of words using synonyms
gestures
drawings
or cognates; use of visual support such as dynamic illustrations
concrete objects
or charts; access to essential ideas
representations
and words; discussion of students’ mathematical writing; and connections to their life experiences.
Dynamic Geometry Project
This is a research project funded by the National Science Foundation (Award# 0918744) to Texas State University
San Marcos.\nThe project is conducting repeated randomized control trials of an approach to high school geometry that utilizes Dynamic Geometry (DG) software and supporting instructional materials to supplement ordinary instructional practices. It compares effects of that intervention with standard instruction that does not make use of computer drawing tools. The basic hypothesis of the study is that use of DG software to engage students in constructing mathematical ideas through experimentation
observation
data recording
conjecturing
conjecture testing
and proof results in better geometry learning for most students. The study tests that hypothesis by assessing student learning in 76 classrooms randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. Student learning is assessed by a geometry standardized test
a conjecturing-proving test
and a measure of student beliefs about the nature of geometry and mathematics in general. Teachers in both treatment and control groups receive relevant professional development
and they are provided with supplementary resource materials for teaching geometry. Fidelity of implementation for the experimental treatment is monitored carefully. Data for answering the several research questions of the study are analyzed by appropriate HLM methods. Results will provide strong evidence about the effectiveness of DG approach in high school teaching
evidence that can inform school decisions about innovation in that core high school mathematics course.
