Out-of-class Assignments
.
Demonstration of Critical Thinking
Students will demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills by solving, analyzing, and interpreting graphs and lines. Such as giving two ordered pair solutions, deducing the slope of the line, and then deducing the linear equation. Demonstrations will be shown by completing assignments, participating in discussions, and completing required assessments.
Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration
Students will demonstrate their problem-solving skills through completing assignments and course assessments by showing their step-by-step processes to solving problems from start to finish.
