Student Learning Outcomes:
It is essential that the presentation be very elementary with a
great deal of attention directed to solving specific problems in order
to meet with any great degree of success. This is not intended to be a
course in abstract mathematics. Rigor, with proofs, is expected but all
examples and applications should be concrete.
M2360 satisfies the university core curriculum requirement in Mathematics: Students graduating from Texas Tech University should be able to demonstrate the ability to apply quantitative and logical skills to solve problems. It meets the following TTU general education student learning outcomes for mathematics that students will:
Assessment:
The assessment of the student's progress will include some or all of the following:
Important Dates:
Students are expected to be aware of the important dates outlined
by the Department of Mathematics and Statics as well as the Texas Tech
University.
ADA compliance:
Any student who, because of a disability, may require special
arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact the
instructor as soon as possible to make the necessary arrangements.
Students should present appropriate verification from Student
Disability Services during the instructor's office hours. Please
note, instructors are not allowed to provide classroom accommodations
to a student until appropriate verification from Student disability
Services has been provided. For additional information,
you may contact the Student Disability Services office at 335 West Hall or 806-742-2405.
Religious Holy Day Observance:
Texas House Bill 256 requires institutions of higher education to
excuse a student from attending classes or other required activities,
including examination, for the observance of a religious holy
day. The student shall also be excused for time necessary to
travel. An institution may not penalize the student for the
absence and allows for the student to take an exam or complete an
assignment from which the student is excused. No prior
notification of the instructor is required.
