Sumario:This paper uses collaborative learning strategies to examine students' perceptions in a differential equations mathematics course. Students' perceptions were analyzed using three collaborative learning strategies including collaborative activity, group-quiz and online discussion. The study results show that students identified both strengths and weaknesses of the collaborative process which signals that in an upper-level mathematics course collaborative learning strategies pose both benefits and limitations.
