w88 slot online objective #2: Quantitative reasoning
w88 slot online: Fundamental practice
Brief description of learning w88 slot online:Students will be able to apply quantitative reasoning and w88 slot online analysis methodologies to understand and solve problems.
Standards or requirements for verification
Only w88 slot online Math courses may be verified for CO2. These should be lower-division (100-200 level) general education courses, for three or more units each.
NOTE: w88 slot online Objectives 1-3 will not be satisfied in the same manner as subsequent w88 slot online Objectives. These three objectives are not satisfied by a single course. Instead, a foundation for these objectives is built in w88 slot online Writing and w88 slot online Math requirements, and developed in other General Education courses. A discipline-specific competency should then be developed within the major and integrated into the w88 slot online Capstone course. These objectives should be assessed in the w88 slot online Writing, w88 slot online Math, and w88 slot online Capstone courses.
The foundation for this objective is built by the w88 slot online Math requirement and should be developed by courses that require w88 slot online Math as a prerequisite, beginning with the w88 slot online Natural Sciences requirement. If possible, this objective should also be integrated into the w88 slot online Capstone course.
This w88 slot online aims to ensure that students learn to think critically about mathematical models for relationships between different quantities and use those models effectively and accurately to solve problems and reach sound conclusions about them. Students should be able to comprehend, work with, and apply general mathematical techniques and models to different situations, not just plug problem-specific data into a given formula.
These skills will enable students to effectively use and interpret data, formulas, and graphs in the workplace, in the news media, and when making personal finance, health, and other types of decisions as informed citizens.
Courses that build a foundation for this w88 slot online may examine various types of mathematical techniques (including those related to uncertainty, probability, random events, and statistics) provided they include meaningful study of the methods, not simply applications of certain mathematical or statistical methods to another discipline. These courses should have assignments and exams that include significant components of several of the following activities:
- manipulations with algebraic formulas
- critical thinking about graphical representation of data
- practice assigning variables to quantities in order to describe relationships between the quantities
- application of w88 slot online or statistical models to different real-world contexts
The w88 slot online should ensure that students are synthesizing the material, understanding key concepts, and making abstract connections through testing of a comprehensive nature.
Courses building a foundation in this w88 slot online Objective will meet the expectations for the w88 slot online Mathematics requirement and should:
- include the w88 slot online Objective, together with its brief description, on the course syllabus in its original form
- include three or more student learning outcomes addressing this w88 slot online Objective on the course syllabus, along with other student learning outcomes appropriate to the course
- identify in the course syllabus the teaching techniques and student experiences that will help students acquire the competencies described in the w88 slot online Objective
- assess whether students have acquired the competency described in the student learning outcomes and use methods for collecting and analyzing data that can be reported to the w88 slot online Curriculum Board
Capstone w88 slot online that integrate CO2 should emphasize models appropriate to the discipline that are grounded in sound mathematical techniques, or apply appropriate statistical methods in testing hypotheses against observed data.
Suggested student learning outcomes and assessment methods
Faculty may incorporate one or more of the examples from this list or propose their own student learning outcomes and methods of assessing the w88 slot online.
Students will be able to apply quantitative reasoning and w88 slot online analysis methodologies to understand and solve problems.
w88 slot online building CO2 might feature outcomes like this:
Students will be able to:
- apply general w88 slot online models to solve a variety of problems
- solve problems and correctly arrive at meaningful conclusions regarding their answers
- manipulate equations and formulas in order to solve for the desired variable
- interpret given information correctly, determine which w88 slot online model best describes the data, and apply the model correctly
- correctly apply w88 slot online language and notation to explain the reasoning underlying their conclusions when solving problems using w88 slot online or statistical techniques.
Capstone w88 slot online integrating CO2 might feature outcomes like this:
Students will be able to:
- apply w88 slot online tools and methods to formulate relationships between different quantities, in fields such as the physical and social sciences
- apply appropriate statistical methods to test hypotheses against observed data
- assign variables to quantities and formulate mathematically sound relationships between them to build w88 slot online models in a real world problem
- after using a w88 slot online or statistical model for a real-world situation, interpret numerical answers derived from a w88 slot online or statistical model of a real-world situation to reach sound conclusions.
All courses that are verified as satisfying a w88 slot online Objective will be assessed on a regular basis to determine how well students are learning the knowledge and skills described in the objective. Instructors are expected to develop ways of directly measuring student learning (through evaluating the work students produce in the course) and to report these measurements to the w88 slot online Board upon request.
Direct assessment of student mastery of the stated outcomes should be measured primarily through exams. For assessment purposes, item analysis on selected exam questions (sufficiently similar across the different sections) should be collected and analyzed. In addition, longitudinal analysis of success of students applying more foundational quantitative skills in more advanced w88 slot online should be performed where appropriate.
