Abstract: For instructors and others who choose the content and format of an introductory Ordinary Differential Equations class, there are many interesting and consequential choices to be made. For example: (1) To what extent should the course focus on modelling? (2) To what extent solving those types of ODE's which are simplest and easiest to solve via pencil and paper be taught? Of course, the answers depend largely on the students taking the class and their educational goals. We will discuss pros and cons of various choices.
