Assessment Methods for Course Learning Goals
Students identify and apply mathematical concepts and principles to solve problems presented through informal assessment, such as oral communication among students and between teacher and students; formal assessment using open-ended questions reflecting theoretical and applied situations.
A minimum of 70% of a student's grade must be determined from proctored assessments and work. These proctored assessments include tests, quizzes, or other proctored in-class assignments.
