2. Co-Requisite Models
Core requirement course appropriate for student’s degree plan
Coupled with a support that involves structured learning assistance
At APSU, the support is 2 hours of additional instructional time in a lab designed by faculty and facilitated by upper-level students, graduate students, learning specialists, or faculty
Mandatory
mathematics course options
professional development for structured learning assistants
professional development for faculty
develop and constantly look to your measure of success

4. What does this look like?
Students who need learning support and those who don’t are enrolled in the same general education core course.
Structured learning assistant attends class and following class goes to the lab with students who will benefit from learning support.
Structured learning assistants work on activities that contribute to success in the general education course AND coach students to complete algebraic modules to address identified algebraic needs.

5. Statistics Course Description
MATH 1530 Elements of Statistics
The purpose of this course is to introduce basic statistical tools and apply them to gain insight into real-world phenomena and to acquaint the student with the principles of probability and statistical inference. Topics covered include measures of central tendency and dispersion , confidence intervals for estimating means and proportions, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, least squares regression and correlation analysis.

6. Quantitative Reasoning Course Description
MATH 1010 Mathematical Thought and Practice
The purpose of this course is to develop skills of inquiry, abstract and logical thinking and critical analysis; to develop the ability to understand and use numbers and statistics; to develop ability in writing, reading, listening and speaking about mathematics; and most importantly, to learn, enjoy, appreciate and apply some basic concepts of mathematics.
