MATH 130 - Linear Algebra and Differential Equations - Stage 3 - Fred Teti
Data Analysis

| Data Sharing Methods |
|
| Data Summary | Student performance on the assessment questions varied widely but closely mirrored the students' overall performance (i.e., the good students generally did better than the poor students). The assessment questions were difficult so very few students answered them completely correctly. See Math Department SLO webpages for further expansion. One assessment item indicated that many students are passing Calculus without understanding the order of operations between substitution and differentiation. |
| Analysis Summary | The analysis did not indicate any need to modify the substance of the course being assessed (Math 130). We might need to modify Calculus I (Math 110A) a little. See Math Department SLO webpages for further details. |
| Next Steps Planned | Only one section of this course (usually) is offered each semester. Next steps must wait until other faculty have taught it during an assessment cycle (namely, the fall semester). |
| Learning Outcomes | The assessment items targeted two course SLOs, one on standard linear algebra and vector space problems and another on solving ordinary and partial differential equations. |
Tentative Future Plans

| Activities | Assessment (measurement) of outcomes |
| More Details | See Math Department SLO assessment guidelines on the Math Department SLO webpage. For Math 130, the individual instructors will have to coordinate across semesters, probably through the chair. |
