Learning goals for MTH329

Role in Curriculum

This course gives math majors a background to a body of mathematics beyond that offered by the required math courses. This course is an elective for all math majors, but is required for math majors with a specialization in adolescent education

Learning Goals and Assessment Plans

The student will use Euclidean axioms, coordinates, vectors, and/or transformations to verify a given geometric result.

When the class is being assessed, the final exams will include embedded questions to assess student performance on these topic-specific learning goals. Instructors are responsible for tallying their students scores.

The student will prove a given geometric statement by writing a concise but complete mathematical argument

same

The student will use compass and straightedge to perform a given Euclidean construction.

same

The student will be familiar with a geometry that does not satisfy all Euclidean axioms.

same

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.
