Course SLO
Thinking and
Reasoning
Students will
identify and
analyze real or
potential
“problems” and
develop, evaluate,
and test possible
solutions using
creative thinking,
analysis and
synthesis,
quantitative
reasoning, and/or
transfer of
knowledge and
skills to a new
context as
appropriate.
Quantitative
Reasoning
Students will use
college-level
mathematical
concepts and
methods to
understand, analyze
and explain issues
in quantitative
terms.
Upon successful
completion of the
course, students
will be able to
correctly utilize
partial derivatives
and multiple
integrals to
demonstrate, in
writing, logical
reasoning
processes to solve
problems related
to rates of change
and optimization
of functions of
several variables,
and volumes and
surface areas.
Semester/Year:
Method of
Assessment
Tests and
quizzes.
Outcomes
Plan for
Implementation
Overall, students
were very
effective at
computing
partial
derivatives and
multiple
integrals and
using them to
solve problems
related to rates
of change and
1) State goals or
objectives of
assignment/activit
y more explicitly
2) Revise
activities leading
up to and/or
supporting
assignments/activi
ties
3) Increase inoptimization of
class discussions
functions of
and activities
several variables,
and volumes and
surface areas.
Students were less
effective at
demonstrating in
writing the logical
reasoning
processes used to
achieve these
ends.
