Analytical Reasoning Requirement
Abstract Reasoning
From the [Catalog Description] Courses qualifying for credit in Abstract Reasoning typically share these characteristics:
- They focus substantially on properties of classes of abstract models and operations that apply to them.
- Complete. Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- They provide experience in generalizing from specific instances to appropriate classes of abstract models.
- Partial. Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- They provide experience in solving concrete problems by a process of abstraction and manipulation at the abstract level. Typically this experience is provided by word problems which require students to formalize real-world problems in abstract terms, to solve them with techniques that apply at that abstract level, and to convert the solutions back into concrete results.
- None. Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
Quantitative Reasoning
From the [Catalog Description] General Education courses in Quantitative Reasoning foster students' abilities to generate, interpret and evaluate quantitative information. In particular, Quantitative Reasoning courses help students develop abilities in such areas as:
- Using and interpreting formulas, graphs and tables.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Representing mathematical ideas symbolically, graphically, numerically and verbally.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Using mathematical and statistical ideas to solve problems in a variety of contexts.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Using simple models such as linear dependence, exponential growth or decay, or normal distribution.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Understanding basic statistical ideas such as averages, variability and probability.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Making estimates and checking the reasonableness of answers.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Recognizing the limitations of mathematical and statistical methods.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
Scientific Inquiry Requirement
From the [Catalog Description] Scientific inquiry:
- Develops students' understanding of the natural world.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Strengthens students' knowledge of the scientific way of knowing — the use of systematic observation and experimentation to develop theories and test hypotheses.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
- Emphasizes and provides first-hand experience with both theoretical analysis and the collection of empirical data.
- Analysis of this unit's support or not for this item.
Scaffolded Learning

General Feedback
- A list of items maintained by the authors, Charlie, and the Reviewers.
Lab Feedback
- Feedback specific to the lab component. Either in-line notes or a link to a separate page.
- Some thoughts about what to look for:
- How long did it take?
- How appropriate is it to the material in the unit?
- Are the instructions complete or did you have to fill-in gaps.
- Is it too easy? Too hard?
- Is what to look for, collect, and analyze clearly delineated?
- Can you easily see what the purpose of the lab is and what you learned from it?
Archived Feedback
- As you address comments in your unit move them to here with a note about how you fixed it.
Authorship
Your names, URLs, etc.
