General Education Alignment

• 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.
      • 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.
      • 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.
      • 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.
