Abstract

Calculus is a fundamental course for the students, and it is also a challenging course for the students new to college. In this study, we first introduce how we collected the students’ performance data of calculus II course in southern university of science and technology, where the in-class quizzes data are obtained by using the Rain Classroom teaching tool. Then we did an empirical study about the effect of the students’ daily performance on their final examination. We will also investigate how a student’s regular performance affects his probability of failing the course. The empirical results could serve as a basis for developing interventions or timely warning systems to alert students to devote more time to this course to avoid failing it. Finally, future improvements in teaching calculus are discussed.
