Learning Outcomes | Learning Opportunities | Assessment Methods | Timeline | Frequency | Comments |
What will students know and be able to do after they graduate? Should be specific and measurable. | Through what courses/assignments will you ensure that the students have the opportunity to learn this? | How will the objective be measured? How will you assess how well students are learning this? [Refer to document on direct and indirect evidence for examples] 1 Direct Measure must be included. | When do you expect to begin collecting this assessment information? | How often will you collect this information? | |
A. Perform numeric and symbolic computations | See Math Grid Outcomes Chart (many courses) | Final Exams in relevant courses will include problems directly testing this knowledge. | We began with two courses in Spring 2010. | Over a two year cycle. See the Mathematics Assessment Schedule. | |
B. Construct and apply symbolic and graphical representations of functions | See Math Grid Outcomes Chart (many courses) | Final Exams in relevant courses will include problems directly testing this knowledge. | We began with two courses in Spring 2010. | Over a two year cycle. See the Mathematics Assessment Schedule. | |
C. Model real-life problems mathematically | See Math Grid Outcomes Chart (many courses) | Final Exams in relevant courses will include problems directly testing this knowledge. | We began with two courses in Spring 2010. | Over a two year cycle. See the Mathematics Assessment Schedule. | |
D. Use technology appropriately to analyze mathematical problems | See Math Grid Outcomes Chart (MAT155 and MAT156 are key) | Final Exams in relevant courses will include problems directly testing this knowledge. | We began with two courses in Spring 2010. | Over a two year cycle. See the Mathematics Assessment Schedule. | |
E. State and apply mathematical definitions and theorems | See Math Grid Outcomes Chart (many courses) | Final Exams in relevant courses will include problems directly testing this knowledge. | We began with two courses in Spring 2010. | Over a two year cycle. See the Mathematics Assessment Schedule. | |
F. Prove fundamental theorems | See Math Grid Outcomes Chart (many courses) | Final Exams in relevant courses will include problems directly testing this knowledge. | We began with two courses in Spring 2010. | Over a two year cycle. See the Mathematics Assessment Schedule. | |
G. Construct and present a rigorous mathematical argument | See Math Grid Outcomes Chart (MAT314 and MAT320 are key) | Final Exams in relevant courses will include problems directly testing this knowledge. | We began with two courses in Spring 2010. | Over a two year cycle. See the Mathematics Assessment Schedule. |
