Utilize Quantitative Approaches

Infusing quantitative skills is a strong pedagogical practice and also an important programmatic consideration. Students are much more likely to achieve mastery when quantitative approaches are infused across the curriculum such that they get many opportunities to practice discipline-relevant skills.

Quantitative Skills and Numeracy

Contextualize math for geoscience students and majors
Infuse quantitative materials throughout the curriculum
Develop quantitative reasoning skills
Employ quantitative writing

Computation

Teaching computation using tools like MATLAB
Use interdisciplinary computational guided inquiry modules like these from PENGUIN
Infusing concepts and applications of parallel computing
