Learning goals for MTH123
Role in Curriculum
MTH 123 is a college algebra / trigonometry class that provides mathematical skills necessary for further success in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), business and teaching majors. It satisfies the general education requirement. Moreover, MTH 123 prepares the students for the next level of courses in mathematics, usually pre-calculus. The prerequisite is MTH 030 or an appropriate score on the CUNY proficiency/placement exam taken by many students who stop at Regents A
Learning Goals and Assessment Plans
Solve equations and manipulate expressions with linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions.
When the class is being assessed, the final exams will include embedded questions to assess student performance on these topic-specific learning goals. Instructors will tally their students’ scores on these questions, and will forward this data to the chair of the department pre-major curriculum committee
Analyze graphs of linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions.

Solve application problems using these functions.

When assessment activities are done, the results will be summarized in memorandum form and filed with the department chairperson for record keeping purposes.
Information obtained from assessment will be used to assess and self-reflect on the success of the course and to make any necessary changes to improve teaching and learning effectiveness.
