Abstract: Incorporating modeling activities into a differential equations course offers numerous benefits, including enhancing student understanding, increasing engagement, and improving both subject knowledge and critical thinking skills. In this talk, I will discuss how I implemented modeling activities and projects in my class and provide insights into my rationale for choosing these activities and my course preparation. Furthermore, I will share reflections on success stories, lessons learned, and potential improvements/variations. Student performance and their enjoyment in investigating the intersection between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications in the realm of differential equations will be explored through a reflection on student feedback.
