Justification and Assessment
Next
  • Rationale*
    Evidence from the USG Getting to Know Our Students survey indicates that student success in math is closely linked to their perception that the math they are studying has purpose. For students studying a broad range of disciplines in the social sciences, health sciences, business and education, the most relevant area of mathematics may be statistics. Indeed, statistical knowledge and understanding has become increasingly important for success in an ever increasing array of fields as the use of, and literacy in, data reshapes our way of viewing the world. To support this, the University System of Georgia will allow participating institutions to offer elementary statistics (MATH/STAT 1401) as an Area A math course. To achieve this, institutions will offer Elementary Statistics (MATH/STAT 1401) without a prerequisite, include Elementary Statistics as an Area A2 math as well as Area D and, for institutions that admit students requiring Learning Support, develop and offer a Corequisite Learning Support course for statistics no later than Fall 2020 that utilize the same placement criteria for MATH/STAT 1401 as for MATH 1001/1101.
    Modifying course numbers is not permitted. If this is a course number change you must delete the previous course and add the course under the new number.
  • If making changes to the Student Learning Outcomes, please provide the updated SLOs in a numbered list format.

    Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:

    1. use the basic terminology of sampling
    2. find measures of central tendency, variation and position
    3. compute basic probabilities and calculations involving these probabilities
    4. use the normal distribution and t-distribution in problems
    5. use confidence intervals to solve problems
    6. perform basic hypothesis tests
    7. use appropriate technology to assist in making statistical computations
    8. perform basic linear regression and find the correlation for data sets
    9. use the binomial distribution to compute probabilities.
