Rhea has many facets, and a single page is certainly not enough to describe them all. But since everybody is busy, here is a quick summary.
Teaching and Learning Initiatives
Since everybody at Purdue can use Rhea to create and share material, Rhea is the perfect platform for supporting any of our learning initiatives. Here are a few currently going on.
- Alumni Liaisons, Technology Liaisons, Employment Liaisons, etc. Everyone can participate to help Purdue students learn better!
- Writers in residence: select students help others learn as they are learning themselves.
- Peer Legacy: Purdue students sharing reflections about the classes they took with future students
- Collective Table of Formulas All formulas in one place, for quick access anytime!
- Homework peer review system Let students grade each other's homework. Coming soon!
Student Contributed Learning Material
One of the core functions of Rhea is to enable students to create and share learning material with other students (and the rest of the world!). There are many different types of learning material, such as:
- Lecture Notes
- Student-led Recitations Notes
- Student-created answers to homework assignments and exams
- virtual poster sessions
Here are a few notable pages created by students:
- Learn about Tetris.
- This MA 181 page about Leibniz's slowly converging series led to an REU in mathematics for John Mason and Josh Hunsberger (under the direction of Prof. Steve Bell). See page 14 of the Math Department newsletter) for more details.
- A Program to compute generators that can be used in MA375.
- The very funny student profile of Chanw.
- Look at this cool way to display code here!
- Fascinating exploration of the imaginary number i
- A hilarious disclaimer for a math class
- Failing with dignity
- Travis Safford playing Hail Purdue with Matlab
- CSESC 2010 - Computational Sciences and Engineering Student Conference
- How to get through math grad school at Purdue and a page maintained by and for grad students in math
