Abstract :
For courses having a strong "hands-on" component, HTML presentation of lecture material allows class meetings to be used for in-class exercises. When students in the class have divergent vocational interests, this approach (HTML readings plus structured exercises) is amenable to exercises tailored to the interests of the individual that also meet overall class goals. A mathematical modeling course taught with all requisite material available in HTML can be so structured. Care must be taken to ensure that in-class exercises remain truly parallel.
