=College Student's Nightmare - Fear of Numbers How Community College Educators could help overcome the Fear?=

Workshop themes: Assessment and student engagement
The Presenter (using Power Point material) lays out some creative ways by which "numbers" could be: (i) initially made more meaningful and relevant to our students in their day to day life, (ii) then gradually get them to develop an affinity for dealing with numbers without the preconceived fear,(iii) appreciate and enjoy working with numbers that would enable them to logically solve given problems, and (iv) finally interpret the meaning of the numbers they have worked out or which are thrown at them allowing them to narrate the "story" behind those numbers to their intended audience. Attendance is recommended for Community College professors teaching subjects that involve numbers and who experience high drop out rate among their students due to fear or inability to deal with numbers.
