Developing a Trigonometry Module for Abertay University
Introduction
I had the opportunity to contribute to the development of a trigonometry module for a mathematics primer course at Abertay University. This course is designed as a refresher and reference guide for students taking mathematics modules at the university.
My Role in the Project
As part of this project, I:
- Learned how to work with “My Learning Space,” the university’s online learning platform.
- Helped structure and explain trigonometry concepts in a way that was clear and accessible to students.
- Strengthened my own understanding of trigonometry by breaking it down into simpler terms.
This experience reinforced how teaching and explaining a subject deepens comprehension, making it a valuable learning process for me as well.
Final Thoughts
Being involved in this project allowed me to contribute to an educational tool that will help future students at Abertay. It was also a great opportunity to apply technical concepts in an academic setting while gaining experience in structuring educational content.
A rewarding experience that combined learning with teaching!
