Final Grades

Students (n=1270) from five Canadian universities were asked to predict their final grades in undergraduate mathematics courses. The percentages of women who overestimated, estimated correctly, and underestimated their grades were 51, 26, and 23; the corresponding percentages for the men were 61, 26, and 13. No sex-related difference was found in the level of confidence expressed by students in their ability to complete their bachelor's program, whereas women expressed less confidence than men in their ability to obtain a PhD. Proportionally fewer women than men expressed an intention to engage in doctoral studies. Although that intention was related to a student's confidence level, a discrepancy between women and men was found even within groups at the same confidence level.

The Difference

We cannot be sure exactly what will happen, we can only estimate by using a particular method, where each method must have the formula to create a regression equation and a formula to calculate the confidence level of the estimated value. This paper conveys a method of estimating the future values, in which the formula for creating a regression equation is based on the assumption that the future value will depend on the difference of the past values divided by a weight factor which corresponding to the time span to the present, and the formula for calculating the level of confidence is to use "the Haryadi Index". The advantage of this method is to remain accurate regardless of the sample size and may ignore the past value that is considered irrelevant.

This note presents a list of mathematics courses, normally taken at the undergraduate level, which are required or recommended as part of the admissions criteria for all economics PhD programs in the United States. The data in this note were gathered through a survey of PhD program directors, retrieval of data from PhD program websites, and personal conversations with PhD program directors in the United States. All of the data were collected during the spring and summer of 2016.

Este artigo é recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado que analisou aspectos da formação inicial em Matemática no Polo do Centro de Educação Superior a Distância do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Cederj) em Paracambi-RJ. Exemplifica sucintamente diferentes ferramentas disponibilizadas na plataforma e reflete sobre possíveis formas de promover interação entre licenciandos em Matemática. Ilustra acessos em três disciplinas (Matemática Discreta, Pré-Cálculo e Instrumentação no Ensino de Geometria (IEG)) obtidos por meio do histórico de entradas no ambiente no período de julho a dezembro de 2013. Identifica momentos específicos nos quais os licenciandos utilizam as ferramentas comunicativas para estabelecer contato com professores, tutores e colegas de curso, seja para sanar dúvidas, realizar ou postar atividades. Esses momentos estão concentrados nos períodos de avaliação, sendo uma exceção a disciplina IEG, na qual se detectou um acesso mais regular e indícios que sugerem maior interação no ambiente virtual da disciplina.Palavras-chave: Educação a Distância, Plataforma Cederj, Licenciatura em Matemática, interação.  Access or Interact? An Analysis of Undergraduate Courses of the Prospective Mathematics Teachers at CEDERJAbstract This article is part from a master's degree research that analyzed aspects of prospective mathematics teachers at the Polo Cederj in Paracambi-RJ. It briefly describes various tools available on the platform and reflects on ways to promote interaction among undergraduates students in Mathematics. It illustrates the access in three subjects (Discrete Mathematics, Pre-Calculus and Didactic of Geometry (DG)) obtained through the log access in the virtual environment in the period from July to December, 2013. It identifies specific times in which prospective teachers seek the tools and use them to make contact with teachers, tutors and fellow course, is to clarify doubt, perform or post activities. These moments are concentrated in the periods of assessment, as an exception to DG subject, in which were found more regular access and evidence to suggest more interaction within virtual environment of course.Keywords: Distance Education, Cederj platform, Undergraduate Mathematics Courses, interaction.

Students who are taking the final semester are students who are completing all their subjects, can take the final project provided they have met the number of credits set to obtain a bachelor's degree. In the process of making a final project, students are required to complete it within a predetermined time, this demand causes students to be depressed, causing stress that affects them in completing their final project and study period. Based on this problem, an Expert System Application was made to Diagnose Stress Levels in Final Year Students by Combining Certainty Factor Methods and Android-Based Forward Chaining Techniques to find out more clearly the level of stress experienced by final year students. The results of the diagnosis on the expert system application and the results of manual calculations on one of the data which is representative of the 200 student data, which produce the same level of confidence, each of which produces a confidence level of 97.97% and was diagnosed with mild stress.Keywords:Android, Certainty Factor, Forward Chaining, Final Year Students, Expert System, Stress.
