Quantitative and Logical Thinking

1. Select and apply appropriate methods (i.e., mathematical, statistical, logical, and/or computational models or principles) to solve real-world problems.
2. Use a variety of forms to represent problems and their solutions.

The course proposal in Coursedog must reflect the following information:

• FSU Requirements: Quantitative and Logical Thinking courses help students become critical analysts of quantitative and logical claims. The course objectives, course materials, activities, topics, and grading criteria should focus on college-level mathematical or logic-based content and reflect how students will achieve this outcome.
  • The objective-assessment table field in Coursedog should illustrate how students will be assessed on their achievement of the Quantitative and Logical Thinking (and other requested or approved CoreFSU area) student learning objectives.
• Board of Governors Requirements for Mathematics (Quantitative & Logical Thinking) Courses: Afford students mastery of foundational mathematical and computation models and methods by applying such models and methods in problem-solving.

Note: General Education courses must be offered at a level of 1000 or 2000. Only college-level courses (1000 or higher) are approved for the CoreFSU curriculum.

There are two components of required syllabus language:

1. Statements approved by the Faculty Senate, and
2. Statements for each CoreFSU designation the course is certified for

Faculty Senate required syllabus language:

All syllabi are required to include the syllabus language statements approved by the FSU Faculty Senate, available at https://facsenate.fsu.edu/Curriculum-Resources/syllabus-language.

CoreFSU required syllabus language:

The following statement can either be 1) adapted specifically to the course content, or 2) pasted verbatim into the syllabus. In either case, the meaning of the language should be clearly communicated to students.

This course has been approved to meet FSU's CoreFSU Quantitative and Logical Thinking requirements and helps you become a critical analyst of quantitative and logical claims.

In order to fulfill the State of Florida’s College mathematics and computation requirement the student must earn a “C–” or better in the course.

By the end of the course, students will demonstrate the ability to:

1. Select and apply appropriate methods (i.e., mathematical, statistical, logical, and/or computational models or principles) to solve real-world problems.
2. Use a variety of forms to represent problems and their solutions.
