| Assessment Description | I gave them exams at the end of the semester. Below are examples of some of the questions. 1. Factor this “special product” completely 2. Write the trigonometric functions as ratio of the sides for triangle ABC. 3. Find the angle A, B and C in degrees. (Hint: Use calculator and inverse) 4. Solve for X: 5. Graph the following equation using a table of solutions. List at least 3 points in the table. 6. Use the quadratic formula to solve the following: 7.

Data Analysis
| Data Shared With | Instructors of the same course (at CCSF) |
|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods | Face-to-face meetings |
| Data Summary | Students seemed to grasp the concepts of right-angle trigonometry, but had a hard time with logarithms. Place where they simply plugged in numbers to get a final answer, the students did well. It became a little more difficult for students when they had to bring in several concepts to solve a problem. |
| Analysis Summary | I simply graded the exams and quizzes. |
| Next Steps Planned | No answer |
