Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes

The assessment of student learning outcomes will be the responses to the factoring section on the MAT0024C Beginning Algebra state exam (Questions 19 to 25).

Comp Exam Question	Algebra State Test Competency
19	Factoring a Polynomial:  Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
20	Factoring a Polynomial:  Difference of Two Squares
21	Factoring a Polynomial:  By Grouping
22	Factoring a Polynomial:  A Trinomial
23	Simplify a Rational Expression  Reduce by Factoring
24	Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring (Leading Coefficient is ONE, a=1)
25	Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring (Leading Coefficient is not ONE)

There will be assessments along the way, such as completing the active learning notes, homework in the active learning notes, documented problem solving with pairs check activities, and the quizzes on WebCT that assess factoring ability.
