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.
