Using STACK Beyond Mathematics

Matuszewski, Maciej

Abstract

STACK is often seen primarily as a tool to aid the teaching and assessment of Mathematics. However, it has the potential to be used in a far wider range of quantitative subjects. This paper will explore the practicalities of extending the use of STACK to a wider audience, including the training of new staff to use STACK. The experience of the Durham University Mathematical Sciences Department will be used as the primary example – discussing the use of STACK in modules with Physics content in Mathematical Sciences, exploring the engagement of the Department's STACK team with other Departments within the Natural Sciences Faculty, and reviewing efforts to introduce optional STACK workshops in general lecture training courses. The paper will outline current ideas for best practice, and open discussion for new approaches.
