This document provides information about a quantitative literacy course called MAT 050. It is a hybrid course designed for students planning to take other math courses. Students will spend about 12 hours per week on course material, including 2-3.5 hours in class and the remaining hours outside of class. The course uses an online learning platform called D2L and online homework system called My Math Lab. Students will have access to course resources like power point presentations, online tutoring, and help centers. Assessment includes group activities, homework, quizzes, tests, and a final exam. Students are expected to complete practice problems, activities, and homework each week.
