Role in Curriculum
Course used by department to establish basic math proficiency in algebra. To pass this class astudent must also establish CUNY proficiency in mathematics either through exemption or the passing

Learning Goals and Assessment Plans
| Learning Goal | Assessment |
|---|---|
| The student will understand lines, including solving linear equations, the concept of slope, the point-slope formula, and graphing of lines. | When the class is being assessed, the common final exams will include embedded questions to assess whether the students have sufficiently mastered the topic-specific learning goals. Instructors will be responsible for tallying their students performance on these questions, and the developmental math coordinator will provide an overall summary. |
| The student will be familiar with basic operations involving exponents including polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, and radicals. | same |
| The student will be familiar with applications involving percents, ratios and proportions. | same |
When assessment activities are done, the results will be summarized in memorandum form and filed with the department chairperson for record keeping
purposes.
Information obtained from assessment will be used to assess and self-reflect on the success of the course and to make any necessary changes to
