 No artifact will be submitted for program assessment as MAT 2905 is not a general education course.

 

Means of accomplishing learning outcomes:

Teacher Centered: Instructor will demonstrate specific problem-solving techniques used in Chipola Math classes.

Seminars/conferences: Students and instructor(s) will meet to discuss assigned readings.

Role modeling: Students and instructors actively demonstrate various tutoring techniques. 

Student Centered: Student will work as tutors in the lab to provide individualized help, and will keep both a time sheet recording hours worked and a log of the number of students tutored and the time spent tutoring each student.

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.
