Analytical Reasoning

Students must choose Option 1 or Option 2 for the Analytical Reasoning domain:

• Option 1: Take 6 credit hours of college math from List A.
• Option 2: Take 3 credit hours of college math from List A and 3 credit hours from List B.

Course learning outcomes

Instructors teaching courses in the Analytical Reasoning domain include at least half of the following learning goals so students can successfully complete this general education core requirement.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

• Interpret information that has been presented in mathematical form (e.g., with functions, equations, graphs, diagrams, tables, words, geometric figures)
• Represent information/data in mathematical form as appropriate (e.g., ,with functions, equations, graphs, diagrams, tables, words, geometric figures)
• Demonstrate skill in carrying out mathematical (e.g., algebraic, geometric, logical, statistical) procedures flexibly, accurately, and efficiently to solve problems
• Analyze mathematical arguments, determining whether stated conclusions can be inferred
• Communicate which assumptions have been made in the solution process
• Analyze mathematical results in order to determine the reasonableness of the solution
• Cite the limitations of the process where applicable
• Clearly explain the representation, solution, and interpretation of the math problem
