Lectures in Advanced Mathematics: Why Students Might Not Understand What the Mathematics Professor Is Trying to Convey. (2016, background): “(See Raman, 2003, for a similar analysis and potential epistemological benefits of such proofs).”
An assessment model for proof comprehension in undergraduate mathematics (2011, unknown): “…also ask the student to justify why this choice of M was appropriate or to present them with a poor choice of M and ask why the proof would not work in that case. mathematics educators (e.g., Raman, 2003) and mathematicians (e.g., Thurston, 1994) argue is important for developing understanding.”
