Course Outline Information

 

10. Student Performance Outcomes: (Outcomes for all credit courses must indicate that students will learn critical thinking and will be able to apply concepts at college level.  Outcomes must be related to items listed in Section 11.)

Using homework assignments, quizzes, exams, classroom discussion, and
reports/projects, the student will:
1. compute and solve problems directly related to work force
applications in technical areas using formulas and basic algebra;
2. solve problems requiring basic geometry and applied algebra in
work force;
3. solve problems requiring use of the right triangle and basic
trigonometry relations;
4. use algebra to solve relevant applied problems;
5. demonstrate basic algebraic properties of number in a variety of
practical applications; and
6. use graphs and calibration charts to obtain answers.
