About Wendy Weber
Wendy Weber has taught at Central College since 1999. Recently she has focused on redesigning and implementing a learning-based pedagogy in calculus that emphasizes the growth mindset. Students are given a list of learning targets covering the course content and are graded on proficiency, not on accumulation of partial credit. And, most importantly, students have multiple attempts to reach proficiency; previous unsuccessful attempts are forgiven. Weber is a past recipient of the Dr. John Wesselink Award for Outstanding Performance in Teaching and the Frank W. Moore Award.
