COURSE SLO ASSESSMENT REPORT, SAC
Department: Math
Course: Math 160
Faculty Member:
Semester/Year: Spring 2013
Institutional 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.
Course SLO #1
Semester/Year:
Method of
Assessment
Quizzes, Tests

simple linear
trig equation.
3. 69% of
students were
able to solve a
quadratic trig
equation.
2. Revise
activities
leading up to
and/or
supporting
assignments
and activities
3. Increase in-
class
discussions and
activities
4. Increase
student
collaboration.
5. Procure
articles/books
