Quantitative
reasoning is the application of
mathematical concepts and skills to solve real-world problems. The goal
of Hollins' quantitative reasoning program focuses on students being
able to use and read quantitative data, understand quantitative
evidence, and apply basic quantitative skills in order to be effective
members of society. Quantitative
Reasoning Skills flow throughout the
Hollins curriculum. After satisfying their basic skills requirement (see
requirement information below) students are encouraged to meet their
Applied Quantitative Reasoning Skill by taking a class within their
major or minor discipline which fulfills the requirement. In this way,
students are given the opportunity to learn the broad significance and
applicability of quantitative reasoning in the particular subjects that
are meaningful, important and interesting to them. Requirements
at Hollins Students
must take between one and six credits of
quantitative reasoning. There are two Gen Ed requirements that students
must meet:
Students may satisfy the basic QR requirement by achieving a satisfactory score on the QR Assessment that is administered during new student orientation, or by enrolling in and successfully completing Math 100, Math 105, or Math 130. Which course is appropriate for a particular student is determined by a student's score in the QR assessment. Courses are not interchangeable. This requirement must be completed by the end of sophomore year. Gen Ed code is q. For more Information: |
