Technology can be used to manipulate mathematical objects dynamically while also facilitating and testing mathematical conjectures. We view these types of authentic mathematical explorations as closely aligned to the work of mathematicians and a valuable component of our students' educational experience. This viewpoint is supported by NCTM and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM).

Major changes in the financial profession warrant assessment of current practices and strategic planning for the future education of such professionals.  This article discusses the core competencies, obtained from numerous studies, of accounting and finance professionals.  After common core competencies are identified for the both accounting and finance professions, the need for change in accounting and finance curricula are discussed.  Next, a combined undergraduate curriculum for both the accounting and finance students, which incorporates the common core competencies, is proposed.  Finally, the authors issue a call for further research.

Education Opportunity

This chapter is about applying the strengths of liberal education to a particular arena: the capstone course in the psychology major. A capstone course marks a final educational experience in an undergraduate curriculum as well as the beginning of a student’s next learning opportunity in the world of work or graduate or professional education. It argues that liberal education should be an integral concern when crafting capstone courses for psychology students, founded on two seemingly incompatible goals. Firstly, that relatively few psychology majors will have careers in the discipline; and so should graduate with skills grounded in liberal education that will help them make their way in the world beyond campus. Secondly, that psychology majors should have a final, in-depth educational experience that allows them to think, act, and communicate like academic psychologists.
