Means of accomplishing learning outcomes:
MAP 2302 is not a General Education core course, and therefore a student in MAP 2302 will demonstrate selected learning outcomes from this list.
Teacher Facilitated: The teacher will be leading class discussions on the material contained in the text during each class period.
Student-Centered: The students will take notes and practice solving problems during each class period.
Office Hours: The instructor will be available during office hours for individual assistance. The instructor’s schedule can be found posted on their office door and/or via their individual web site.
ACE Lab Tutors: Student tutors are available in the lab to provide individualized help. Hours can be found posted each semester on the lab door and/or via the web site.
