Student Learning Outcomes

Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the following outcome-based learning skills:

1. Be introduced a wide variety of mathematics beyond the usual algebra-based curriculum often encountered in high school.
2. Understand how to model and solve problems related to real-world situations using the mathematics encountered in this course.
3. Develop thinking skills through mathematical investigation and discovery.
4. Communicate mathematics effectively through neat organized work that outlines each step of the process and may be easily understood by others.
