History of BYUHistory of BYU

It has been said the Saints will be saviors upon Mount Zion, that they are destined to redeem the world. Redeem the world from what? From the thralldom of sin, ignorance, and degradation! In order to do this, Zion will have to take the lead in everything and consequently also in education …

Learning at the University LevelLearning at the University Level

High School Level• Reproduce Class

• Class is everything

• Instructor programs students

• Almost no readings

• Slow-paced style

University Level• Apply what is learned to

new situations• Much learning occurs

outside classroom• Instructor guides students

• Read for comprehension. Many hours.

• Fast-paced style

Discussion of homework assignments is allowed, but you should keep in mind that homework is an individual work. If you can reach tothe point where you can do fresh problems without help in all sections, I can anticipate that you will be able to successfully solve all problems on the midterms and final exam.

Test DifficultyTest Difficulty

• Challenging but possible tests.• From the syllabus:

“ If you are able only to do problems similar to those you have seen before, you are doing an average work. To earn a better grade, you need to understand the theory and different techniques for solving Differential Equations, and be able to solve new and interesting problems”

• Best advice: 1 Corinthians 10:13…God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Application to Math 214…God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tested above

that ye are able; but will with the exam also make a way for you to study hard, that ye may be able to obtain a good grade.

Motivation to LearnMotivation to Learn

Love of Learning“The more I consider what learning is,

the more I see it as a sacred privilege, an act of wonder. I believe that when we are learning we feel most alive. When we are learning we feel closest to God”

Russ Osguthorpe, 1996

Here we are doing what is not done in any other major university of which I am aware.

We are demonstrating that faith in the almighty can accompany and enrich scholarship in the secular. It is more than an experiment. It is an accomplishment.
