Department Student Learning Outcomes


The Mathematics Department at Mission College offers courses at three levels: basic skills, associate's degree, and transfer. Students completing mathematics courses at Mission College will be able to:
  • solve problems using mathematical terminology, symbols, operations, and techniques according to the course content and level of study;
  • apply technology including calculators and computers to mathematical problems;
  • improve computational and problem-solving skills;
  • construct mathematical models of "real life" problems and draw conclusions from these models;
  • formulate and test mathematical conjectures;
  • adapt general mathematical techniques to course-specific problems;
  • display logical thought processes;
  • and value mathematical ways of thinking.
Students will be assessed through written homework, quizzes, tests, and/or oral and written projects.
