(tick) Geneseo's learning outcomes and assessment methods in this area meet SUNY's standards for strengthened campus-based assessment.

Geneseo Learning Outcomes for Mathematics (Numeric and Symbolic Reasoning)

Students will demonstrate:

  • the ability to convert a problem into a setting using symbolic notation;
  • the ability to connect and find relationships among symbolic quantities;
  • the ability to construct an appropriate symbolic framework;
  • the ability to carry out algorithmic and logical procedures to resolution;
  • the ability to draw valid conclusions from numeric/symbolic evidence.


1. MATHEMATICS [1]

Students will demonstrate the ability to:

  • interpret and draw inferences from mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables and schematics;
  • represent mathematical information symbolically, visually, numerically and verbally;
  • employ quantitative methods such as, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or statistics to solve problems;
  • estimate and check mathematical results for reasonableness; and
  • recognize the limits of mathematical and statistical methods.
