In this paper, we try to find improved solutions for problems with general mathematics education courses. We suggest effective management strategies and teaching-learning methods by level-based classes with utilizing students survey and scholastic level assessment, and management of Mathematics Cafe and its homepage, and also setting example classes for assignments on the Webwork system and evaluating the class.

In this paper, we conduct a questionnaire survey on the actual conditions and the test on the basic scholastic ability of the students who register for the course, Introduction of Business Mathematics. We want to find the ways to improve the teaching-learning methods for this course. Especially, the registered students have difficulties in the following the course because they have not studied Calculus in their high school. So we give them several assignments on the Webwork system, an internet based homework management system, and analyze its effect on the students' scholastic achievement. And we propose a teaching-learning method suitable for the course.
