SLO 1: Improve ability to read and write mathematical material

​

How I Meet This Outcome:

​

I consistently interpret and produce quantitative material through budgets, financial reports, cost analyses, and structured documentation. My website development work also requires reading and applying numerical specifications such as pixel measurements, spacing ratios, and layout dimensions. In addition, interpreting website analytics involves reviewing engagement metrics, traffic patterns, and performance data, all of which strengthen my ability to read, understand, and communicate mathematical information.

​

Relevant Coursework:

• SOC 3760 – Methods of Social Research: Statistical tables, data interpretation, analytical summaries

• BUS 2000 – Business Communication: Data‑supported documents and quantitative communication

• SOC 3740 – Professional Writing & Career Readiness: Structured reporting using numerical information

 

SLO 2: Improve problem‑solving skills

 

How I Meet This Outcome:

​

My leadership roles require ongoing quantitative problem-solving, including allocating resources, designing event layouts, forecasting costs, and ensuring Treasurer reporting accuracy. Website development also involves solving layout and spacing challenges, optimizing user flow, and adjusting design elements based on performance data. These tasks require applying mathematical reasoning to create effective, real‑world solutions.

​

Relevant Coursework:

• SOC 3770 – Analysis and Assessment: Measurement, evaluation, and data‑based decision‑making

• MGT 2010 – Principles of Management: Budgeting, resource allocation, organizational planning

​

SLO 3: Understand how mathematics is relevant to the arts and social sciences

​

How I Meet This Outcome:

​

My work bridges both creative and analytical fields. Event design requires geometry, proportions, and capacity calculations. Social science work involves interpreting community data and engagement metrics. Civic leadership responsibilities demonstrate math in government, elections, and public accountability.

​

Relevant Coursework:

• SOC 3760 & SOC 3770: Quantitative reasoning in social research

• MGT 2010: Organizational planning and resource modeling

​

SLO 4: Be motivated to understand rather than memorize mathematical ideas

 

How I Meet This Outcome:

​

Real‑world tasks require true understanding of mathematical concepts rather than memorization. Budget analysis involves understanding how expenses interact. Event layouts rely on spatial reasoning and proportional thinking. Timelines and reporting cycles require sequencing and modular thinking.

 

Relevant Coursework:

• SOC 3740: Analytical writing requiring conceptual understanding

• BUS 2000: Applying quantitative information to real communication tasks

 

SLO 5: Become a more informed consumer of mathematical information

 

How I Meet This Outcome:

​

I regularly evaluate numerical information from community research reports, vendor contracts, publishing analytics, campaign finance regulations, and media‑reported statistics. My work with website analytics further strengthens this skill by requiring me to assess engagement data, identify trends, and make decisions based on quantitative evidence. This involves evaluating accuracy, recognizing misleading metrics, and interpreting data responsibly.

 

Relevant Coursework:

• SOC 3760 & SOC 3770: Evaluating data quality and interpreting statistical findings

• BUS 2000: Analyzing quantitative information for business communication
