Source files and built PDFs for running a Team-Based Inquiry Learning linear algebra course.
By Steven Clontz and Drew Lewis.
This repo is still a work-in-progress. However, feel free to use it as-is or adapt these materials for your course. Contact us using a link above if you do!
All the needed materials are available in the PDF folder.
See facilitator-notes.pdf for more information on implementing
these materials in your classroom.
For developers and/or instructors who would like to partition the slides into
sections without changing the repository, run the following commands:
git update-index --assume-unchanged tex/modules/*/index.tex
git update-index --assume-unchanged pdf/course-slides-sectioned.pdf
git update-index --assume-unchanged tex/slides/slides-*.tex
git update-index --assume-unchanged pdf/slides/slides-*.pdf
Then, you can edit tex/modules/*/index.tex as you like to include different
activities in different sections; resulting changes will be built to
pdf/course-slides-sectioned.pdf and pdf/slides/slides-*.pdf. pdf/course-slides.pdf will retain the slides with no section labels.
All source files are located within ./tex. These files are designed
to be built by pdflatex run from within this folder, so .tex files
located in this folder (not within a subfolder) may be built directly
for development purposes. A makefile is provided so that materials may
be built by running make.
During development, it's recommended to run (e.g.) make pdf/slides-1-E.pdf
to build only the appropriate piece of the project for testing purposes.
A make slides command is provided that will make only the individual module slides.
When possible, run the global make build as its own commit so that content
changes aren't hidden within a large build.
For convenience, files ignored by Git (e.g. TeX auxiliary files) may be
removed by running git clean -fX.
- Definitions should use
\term{}for the term being defined. - LaTeX-style math delimiters
\(x\)and\[x\]should be used in place of TeX-style delimiters$x$and$$x$$. - Bracket delimiters should follow BSD/Allman style.
- Exceptions can be made for e.g.
\newcommandissues
- Exceptions can be made for e.g.
- Sets should use the provided
\setBuilderand\setListcommands. - Use
alignatoralignedatenvironments for systems of equations. - Unless necessary, limit lines to 80 characters for clean
git diffs.
Exercises are now tracked at https://github.com/StevenClontz/masterit-tbil-la.
To use them in this repo, either clone a copy into an exercises folder:
git clone git@github.com:StevenClontz/masterit-tbil-la.git exercises
Or if they already live on your computer (perhaps inside a MasterIt installation) you can symlink them like so:
ln -s path/to/your/masterit-tbil-la exercises
Built versions of these exercises are currently available at https://checkit.clontz.org/banks/tbil-la/
