Guide to Develop a Refresher for MA1117, Single Variable Calculus

Abstract

Refreshers for introductory courses have a variety of useful purposes. They may be used as a tool for newly arriving students to assist in their return to an academic environment, as a review for tests, or as a prelude to what a course offers. They may also be sent to interested personnel in the field. The primary benefit of the refresher is to experience faster learning and greater retention of the material covered. This thesis is a step by step instruction of how to develop a microcomputer based refresher for any subject. These refreshers, in the form of a series of questions and answers, are easy to develop as well as easy to use. A Zenith-248 microcomputer or compatible is the main tool used to develop the refresher. An initial file, written on a word processor containing the questions and answers, is the raw data. By following a few simple instructions when creating this file, it can be transformed into a refresher in a minimal amount of line. A refresher for MA1117, single variable calculus, is developed as an example.
