Mathematics – Featured Week Feb 5-9

February 2, 2018

Overview for all featured weeks

Although we are thinking about content subject matter and skills, general education also involves a broader vision.

Please come to an in-person discussion and/or provide your responses and feedback and thoughts in the comments feature at the bottom of this page.

Key questions for in-person and virtual discussions

• What is valuable for students to know and do in the domain of mathematics?
• How do we know they have achieved it?
• How do the AAC&U Quantitative Literacy descriptions & rubric fit with what we do (or wish to do) at Clemson?

Resources and other models for this general education student learning outcome:
