Minimum State Prerequisite(s): DMA 010, DMA 020, DMA 030, DMA 040, DMA 050, and DRE 098
Minimum State Corequisite(s): None
This course is designed to engage students in complex and realistic situations involving the mathematical
phenomena of quantity, change and relationship, and uncertainty through project- and activity-based
assessment. Emphasis is placed on authentic contexts which will introduce the concepts of numeracy,
proportional reasoning, dimensional analysis, rates of growth, personal finance, consumer statistics,
practical probabilities, and mathematics for citizenship. Upon completion, students will be informed
consumers of quantitative information with the ability to use data to make personal, professional, and
civic decisions by decoding, interpreting, using, and communicating quantitative information found in
modern media and encountered in everyday life.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
1. Judge the reasonableness of results using estimation, logical processes, and a proper
understanding of quantity
2. Utilize proportional reasoning to solve contextual problems and make conversions involving
various units of measurement
3. Identify, interpret, and compare linear and exponential rates of growth to make predictions and
informed decisions based on data and graphs
4. Differentiate between simple and compound interest and analyze the long-term effects of saving,
investing, and borrowing
5. Describe, analyze, and interpret statistical information such as graphs, tables, and summarized
data to draw appropriate conclusions when presented with actual statistical studies
6. Determine probabilities and expected values and use them to assess risk and make informed
decisions
7. Analyze civic and/or societal issues and critique decisions using relevant mathematics
Rationale for new course: In keeping with the guiding principles of the CIP, this course will
supplant MAT 140 and MAT 115 with a more robust, relevant, and transferable mathematics
course designed to present mathematics in multiple work and life contexts. This description is
aligned with recommendations by the National Council on Education and the Disciplines, the Dana
Center Math Pathways project, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), the American
Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In
addition, this course has been designed based on broad response from program and subject faculty
from across the NCCCS system when they were given the opportunity to provide feedback
concerning the necessary mathematical and critical thinking skills desired in their students.
The CAA Math Discipline Committee has indicated that MAT 143 will be accepted at all UNC-GA
institutions as a general education math option.

This course provides a project-based approach to introductory statistics with an emphasis on using realworld data and statistical literacy. Topics include descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, basic
probability, discrete and continuous probability distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.
Upon completion, students will be able to use appropriate technology to describe important characteristics
of a data set, draw inferences about a population from sample data, and interpret and communicate
results.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
1. Organize, display, calculate, and interpret descriptive statistics
2. Apply basic rules of probability
3. Identify and apply appropriate probability distributions
4. Perform regression analysis
5. Analyze sample data to draw inferences about a population parameter
6. Communicate results through a variety of media
Rationale for new course: This course replaces the two introductory statistics courses (MAT 151
and MAT 155) currently in the CCL, combining the key learning objectives of each. This course
will improve student communication skills in statistics based on ASA standards. Additionally, this
course will increase awareness of uses of technology in statistics. The steering committee feels the
utilization of lab hours should be consistent across the state. Since NCCCS data showed that 61
percent of the students enrolled in the regular section also enrolled in the separate lab section, it
was determined to make the hours mandatory. The additional two hours will allow the students the
opportunity to enhance the learning of concepts pertaining to the course by working collaboratively
on active learning projects, communicating mathematical thought using clear and effective written
and oral communication, and applying appropriate quantitative tools and logical modes of thinking
to analyze and synthesize information in problem solving situations.

This course is designed to develop topics which are fundamental to the study of Calculus. Emphasis is
placed on solving equations and inequalities, solving systems of equations and inequalities, and analysis
of functions (absolute value, radical, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic) in multiple
representations. Upon completion, students will be able to select and use appropriate models and
techniques for finding solutions to algebra-related problems with and without technology.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
1. Use analytical, graphical, and numerical representations to solve absolute value, radical,
polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic equations with both real and complex solutions
2. Use analytical, graphical, and numerical representations to solve absolute value, polynomial and
rational inequalities with real solutions
3. Use analytical, graphical, and numerical representations to analyze absolute value, radical,
polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions with both real and complex zeros

Additionally, the material covering exponential and logarithmic functions is needed for MAT 263
and hence should be moved to MAT 171. Research showed that most colleges already include these
topics in MAT 171; thus we are simply updating the description to reflect common practice.
In consultation with Math CIP Liaisons, it was decided that for a student in a STEM AAS program,

*For college staff/faculty: Base Colleague provides only one field to hold the two-component math placement exam score.
As a workaround to this limitation, MAT-060 has been paired with the prerequisites MAT-070, MAT-080 and MAT-090 to
provide the two fields needed to record the math placement exam scores. College staff should record the student's
arithmetic score under MAT 060 and should record the student's algebra score under MAT 070, MAT 080, or MAT 090.
Rationale for archiving: Although this course had large enrollment, the course objectives were
very similar to those in MAT 140. The new MAT 143 will serve the needs of many of these students,
and it will provide them with a college transfer math. Other programs may select MAT 110 for
their former MAT 115 students. This course has lower pre-requisites than MAT 115, and it has
been created with the input gathered from program faculty around the state.

Rationale for archiving: In the interest of stream lining the CCL, it was judged that the content in
MAT 145 (Analytical Math), MAT 165 (Finite Mathematics), and in MAT 167 (Discrete
Mathematics) was very similar. Math CIP Steering Committee members who had taught these
three courses (MAT 145, MAT 165, and MAT 167) included key topics from all three in the revised
MAT 167.

Rationale for archiving: The Liaisons observed that the large majority of our students take MAT
171-172 rather than this one semester calculus course. Our experience has been that students who
can pass MAT 175 generally are strong algebra students who may only need concentration on the
trigonometry material in MAT 175. For the benefit of these students, the Committee will
recommend a CLM (College Level Math) score to accelerate students’ placement into MAT 172,
MAT 263 or MAT 271.
