Role in Curriculum
MTH 229 is a required laboratory for MTH 230 and MTH 231. It provides students experience withMATLAB, which is used in subsequent mathematics courses.
Learning Goals and Assessment Plans
| Learning Goal | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Solve and manipulate calculus-related expressions using MATLAB. | 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 and produce calculus-related graphs using MATLAB. | same |
| Solve calculus-related applied problems using MATLAB | 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.
