MTH 130 is a pre-calculus class that provides mathematical skills necessary for calculus. Studentsmay instead take MTH 230, which includes the material in both MTH 130 and MTH 231
Learning Goals and Assessment Plans
| Learning Goal | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Solve equations and manipulate expressions with trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, polynomial and rational functions. | When the class is being assessed, the final exams will include embedded questions to assess student performance on these topic-specific learning goals. Instructors will tally their students' scores on these questions, and will forward this data to the chair of the department pre-major curriculum committee |
| Analyze graphs of trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, polynomial and rational functions. | same |
| Solve application problems using these functions. | 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
improve teaching and learning effectiveness.
