Role in Curriculum

The course will prepare students to take 100-level math courses needed for their majors.

Learning Goals and Assessment Plans

Learning GoalAssessment
Solving a system of linear equations in two
variables. (using algebra or graphing)
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.
