Quantitative Reasoning courses are designed so that students will learn to recognize, understand, and use the quantitative elements they encounter in various aspects of their lives. Students will develop a habit of mind that uses quantitative skills to solve problems and make informed decisions.
Learning Outcomes
Students will demonstrate mastery of the Quantitative Reasoning general education core competency by being able to:
- Represent mathematical, and quantitative information symbolically, graphically, numerically, and verbally.
- Apply quantitative methods to investigate routine and novel problems. This includes calculations/procedures, mathematical and/or statistical modeling, prediction, and evaluation.
- Interpret mathematical and quantitative information and draw logical inferences from representations such as formulas, equations, graphs, tables, and schematics.
- Evaluate the results obtained from quantitative methods for accuracy and/or reasonableness.
