Student Outcome A

(A) An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the program's student outcomes and to the discipline;

Level 5
The student:
  1. almost always identifies an appropriate mathematical and/or computing tool or technique needed to solve a given problem.
  2. successfully applies a given mathematical or computing concept to solve a given problem.
  3. can almost always identify or explain a particular concept within computing or mathematics when asked to do so.
Level 3
The student:
  1. usually identifies an appropriate mathematical and/or computing tool or technique needed to solve a given problem.
  2. is somewhat successful in applying a given mathematical or computing concept to solve a given problem but tends to make minor errors that prevent the solution from being completely correct.
  3. can usually identify or explain a particular concept within computing or mathematics when asked to do so.
Level 1
The student:
  1. rarely identifies an appropriate mathematical and/or computing tool or technique needed to solve a given problem.
  2. does not understand computing and mathematical concepts sufficiently to apply them to the solution of a problem even when they are directed to use a particular concept.
  3. is frequently unable to identify or explain a particular concept within computing or mathematics when asked to do so.
