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 assignment, exams, quizzes, classroom discussion,
reports/projects, the student will:
1. use advanced topics in trigonometry including but not limited to
Law of Sines and Cosines, sinusoidal modelling and vectors to solve
relevant problems in vocational-technical areas;
2. use exponential and logarithmic functions to model applications
and solve relevant problems in vocational-technial areas;
3. use conic sections and other advanced topics of geometry such as
symmetry, reflections and scaling to solve applied problems in
vocational-technical areas;
4. develop graphs and statistical methods; and
5. solve problems involving systems of equations.
