Thinking and Reasoning
Students will identify and analyze real or potential “problems” and develop, evaluate, and test possible solutions using creative thinking, analysis and synthesis, quantitative reasoning, and/or transfer of knowledge and skills to a new context as appropriate.
Quantitative Reasoning
Students will use college-level mathematical concepts and methods to understand, analyze and explain issues in quantitative terms. / Throughout the semester students will be able to use trigonometric functions to solve triangles and to solve equations. / Quizzes, Tests / 1. 88% of students were able to correctly solve the word problem using a trig function
2. 79% of students were able to solve a simple linear trig equation.
3. 69% of students were able to solve a quadratic trig equation. / 1. State goals or objectives of assignment/activity more explicitly
2. Revise activities leading up to and/or supporting
assignments and activities
3. Increase in-class discussions and activities
4. Increase student collaboration.
5. Procure articles/books on teaching about
competency
