DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The course development process, presented by the UNC System Quantitative Reasoning Development Team, provides an in-depth overview of the course module content. The below student learning outcomes (competencies) provides faculty and instructional designers with the necessary scaffolding to explore the course objectives, instructional materials, learning activities, and various assessments of this course. A careful curation of Open Educational Resources (OER) has been used to support the achievement of the stated student learning outcomes. The below student learning outcomes describes the competencies we want students to achieve.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES (SLOs)

  1. CO1 - Students should be able to interpret mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables, and schematics, and draw inferences from them.

  2. CO2 - Students should be able to represent mathematical information symbolically, visually, numerically, and verbally.

  3. CO3 - Students should be able to implement arithmetical, algebraic, geometric and statistical methods to solve problems (CO1, CO2).

  4. CO4 - Students should be able to critically analyze solutions to mathematical problems (CO2, CO3).

  5. CO5 - Students should be able to communicate critically mathematical applications to the wider society.
