Post your ideas for improving success in Math 163 here. ("Success" means success in learning.) Susan Calderon:

When introducing logarithmic functions: ask students to remember form of exponential function. (Put it up on the board.) Then remind them that expo. functions are one-to- one, and therefore have inverses. Have them go through steps of finding inverse of expo. function (while writing this on the board.) Then remark upon how we are left with inverse in implicit form. Then, show them how use of "logarithm" (or log) helps us to make the inverse explicit...
