AustMS/AMSI Teaching Seminar Series
Date & Time: Tuesday 10 December 2019, 2:00pm AEDT (GMT+11) Speaker: Leesa Sidhu (UNSW ADFA) Title: Teaching a compulsory maths course to Arts and Business students Abstract: This seminar will discuss the design and implementation of a compulsory data analysis course for Arts and Business students at UNSW Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy. The Rector of UNSW Canberra requested that this course be developed, in order to ensure that all graduates are exposed to key quantitative methods relevant to them in their military careers. The course aims to teach students to use data to answer questions and make informed, objective decisions, to evaluate information, to reason logically and evaluate the reasoning of others, to understand the methods of data analysis and to apply appropriate techniques to analyse data. It focuses on understanding the concepts of statistics without overemphasizing the mathematical detail. The commonly available computer software package, Microsoft Excel, is used for data exploration, presentation and analysis. The course is challenging to teach as the students have quite diverse backgrounds and many lack confidence or interest in mathematics. This seminar discusses ways in which the approach used in the course helps students to overcome mathematics anxiety and motivates them to engage with the course material, by establishing a supportive and encouraging classroom environment, catering for different approaches to learning, and making appropriate use of technology. Location: Online via Zoom: https://unimelb.zoom.us/j/787759102 Use the link above to participate on your PC, Mac, iOS or Android device.

Seminar recording: will be available from the seminar website afterwards The annual Biosciences Education Australia Network (BEAN www.bean.edu.au) is being held at the University of Melbourne, on Monday, 9 and Tuesday, 10 December 2019.
This year’s theme will be “AIming Higher” with emphasis on the “AI” – i.e. Artificial Intelligence in higher ed The BEAN forums are designed specifically to be of interest to colleagues across all of STE(A)MM, as we seek to explore ways in which to best prepare ourselves and our students for learning in the 21C. In particular, to explore how we can collaborate to enhance the curriculum from an interdisciplinary perspective that draws from all areas of academia. Please encourage your colleagues from across the disciplines to join us! We will have a series of exciting keynotes, talks and poster presentations so we can all share our latest experiences. This will also be a chance to contribute to ongoing discussions around the new decadal plan Bioscience Curriculum 2030 which is a project being conducted by the National Committee for Biomedical Sciences of the Australian Academy of Science. Registration cost is just $260 for two-day forum on Monday, 9 Dec and Tuesday, 10 Dec, and $120 for the dinner in the Rainforest Room at Melbourne Zoo! Registration now open: CLICK HERE - Please note: Eventbrite adds a small admin fee.

Thursday - welcome
We are pleased to announce that the theme of this year's FYiM workshop to be held in Brisbane is
Celebrating 10 years of First Year in Maths!
Our first forum was in 2013 at The University of Melbourne. Let's look back on 10 years of talking about teaching maths and statistics at the first-year level. What is still relevant? What has changed? What new challenges lie ahead?
Here is the programme.
Details of the workshop are:
When: Thursday 6 July and Friday 7 July - 10 am to 5 pm
Where: The University of Queensland, St Lucia campus and via Zoom
Cost: FREE! Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided thanks to UQ's School of Maths and Physics. You are welcome to join us for dinner (at own cost) on Thursday night at a local/CBD restaurant.
We look forward to seeing you in sunny Brisbane!
