Learning Goals and Assessment Plans

Learning GoalAssessment
The student will be able to determine whether a
given function is continuous, and prove the
result using the definition of a limit.
When the class is being assessed, the final exams
will include embedded questions to assess student
performance on these topic-specific learning
goals. Instructors are resposible for tallying
their students scores.
The student will be able to use the definition of
a derivative to determine, with proof, whether a
given function is differentiable.
same
The student will be able to determine the
convergence or divergence of a given sequence or
series, and prove that a sequence converges by
proving that it is monotone and bounded.
same
The student be able to use the definition of the
integral as a Riemann Sum to determine, with
proof, whether a given function is Riemann
integrable.
same

When assessment activities are done, the results will be summarized in memorandum form and filed with the department chairperson for record keeping
purposes.

Information obtained from assessment will be used to assess and self-reflect on the success of the course and to make any necessary changes to
improve teaching and learning effectiveness.
