Student Learning Outcomes
Calculate: Students will accurately solve mathematical problems.
Apply & Analyze: Students will draw relevant conclusions from quantitative analysis of data.
Method
Rubric scoring of student work samples (five calculation questions and five apply and analyze questions)
Criteria of Success
At least 60% of students will score a 3 or higher out of 5 on a rubric.
Results
Calculate Results:
21 out of 45 (46.7%) scored at least 3 out of 5 on the rubric.
Apply & Analyze Results:
24 out of 45 (53.3%) scored at least 3 out of 5 on the rubric.
Sample
45 students out of 45 enrolled.
Use of Results for Continuous Improvement
Two of the most common mistakes students made were not converting percent into decimals and not being able to find period rate. More in-class practice is needed. Also, students will be referred for tutoring help more frequently. Next, students often had difficulty writing mathematical steps using proper notation and providing a justification for their answers. Therefore, we will include additional assignment problems to give more practice.
