MATH 15 - Support Topics for Trigonometry

The following are the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) and Course Measurable Objectives (CMOs) for MATH 15. A Student Learning Outcome is a measurable outcome statement about what a student will think, know, or be able to do as a result of an educational experience. Course Measurable Objectives focus more on course content, and can be considered to be smaller pieces that build up to the SLOs.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)

1. Students feel that Math 15 has improved their overall mathematical understanding and ability in Math 150. (measured by survey provided by corequisite committee)
2. Math 15 students will be able to solve trigonometric equations that are algebraic in form.
3. Math 15 students will be able to manipulate trigonometric expressions to prove an identity.

Course Measurable Objectives Effective through Summer 2024 (CMOs)

1. Evaluate trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions.
2. Solve right triangles.
3. Convert between radians and degrees.
4. Graph trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions.
5. Prove and utilize trigonometric identities.
6. Solve trigonometric equations.
7. Apply the law of sines and law of cosines.
8. Solve problems vectors.
9. Apply DeMoivre’s Theorem to complex numbers.

Course Measurable Objectives Effective Beginning Fall 2024 (CMOs)
