Dr. Robert Niemeyer - Associate Professor of Mathematics
CASE would like to express our gratitude to Dr. Niemeyer for introducing us Dr. Francis Su’s book, Mathematics for Human Flourishing. Dr. Niemeyer applied the ideas from Dr. Su’s book and developed a four-part workshop called “Reframing Your Math Experience.” The workshop includes sessions titled "You Are Not Alone," "Reflecting on Your Reading," "Overcoming Anxiety," and "Mathematics for Human Flourishing.” Students’ comments after attending the workshop: “I think I would have allowed myself to have more fun with the courses.” “I want to go through other classes to foster and nurture the spark of joy.” “Learned that reframing my mindset from I have to learn this concept to I want to learn this concept would help in my math classes.” “I would have been more confident in doing math if I had gone this workshop first.” “I would have asked the why behind math classes and procedure instead of just trying to use equations.” Thank you, Dr. Niemeyer, for your dedication to helping students feel less anxious about math.
