Abstract:
Abstract—While teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, we frequently encounter situations where we have several prerequisites for a particular course. We anticipate that students will have different levels of knowledge in these prerequisites. A prerequisite (Linear algebra for Machine Learning course) was implemented as an interactive online course using Jupyter Notebooks and nbgrader. A preliminary survey shows a preference by students and instructors for this interactive implementation.
