We introduced a question-driven method facilitated by an audience response system, namely TopHat,™ that allows the instructor to engage students in solving calculus problems across the entire class, as well as to provide uniform immediate feedback to both the students and the instructor as an opportunity to reflect and remediate. In Fall 2016, we compared outcomes for students who solved problems facilitated by TopHat™ in one section (041) to those who solved problems using paper in another section (046). Results from statistical tests found the section (041) using a question-driven method facilitated by TopHat™ was associated with statistically significantly improved performance measures resulting in a 4.98% increase in final grades.
