• Resumen

  • A problem-solving capstone course for mathematics and mathematics education majors can help majors synthesize material learned in the major, create a basis for lifelong learning in the discipline, develop confidence, and promote interest in graduate study. Such a course may also play a role in departmental assessment of the major. This article details such a course, including course design, classroom practice, student comments, and resources for faculty interested in developing a similar course.
