The issues to be addressed are to investigate the following aspects of diversity at university level:
The diversity of our current student population with respect to composition, culture, background, language, preparedness and resources, the decline in the number of third year students enrolling for pure mathematics modules and the swing towards applied fields, the transition from school to university, the diversity of teaching methods with the emphasis on the development of internet courses and the efficacy of the different learning elements built into these courses, the diversity of assessment mechanisms in the classroom and web environment
