Computer-use should not replace the nitty-gritty mechanics; it should change the way students learn the nitty-gritty mechanics.
Instead of a homework assignment like this:
1. compute this integral.
2. compute this integral.
3. compute this integral.
4. compute this integral.
5. compute this integral.
Students should be getting homework assignments like this:
1. compute this integral.
2. write a procedure to compute any integral.
