Tim Fahlberg's math professor sister, Dr. Linda Fahlberg-Stojanovska, and many of her students recently converted Dr. Maria Terrell's "Good Questions for Calculus" into ExamView format. By converting these questions to ExamView we hope that more educators will use these questions to improve student learning in calculus
a) by using them during class to stimulate discussion (their original purpose),
b) by using them as the basis of Whiteboard Movies (aka mathcasts) created by students, and
c) by using them in new & creative ways!
