Methods of Instruction: Activity Lecture Projects 5. Methods of Evaluation: Describe the general types of evaluations for this course and provide at least two, specific examples. Typical classroom assessment techniquesExams/Tests -- Quizzes -- Oral Presentation -- Projects -- Home Work -- Final Exam -- Additional assessment information:The Mathematics Department maintains a commitment to diverse teaching methods in courses emphasizing vital quantitative skills and qualitative reasoning ability (PEP Program Mission Statement, 2011). To that end, it is expected that sufficient formative assessments will be given to students that in frequency, length and rigor adequately assess both quantitative skills and qualitative reasoning.Example Questions:1. In the year 2000, the United States consumed 13.51 megawatt-hours (MWh) per person of electric power. By the year 2006, consumption had steadily decreased to 13.38 MWh per person. Use this information to write an equation for the per-person electric power consumption in the statistical form y = a + bx, where x represents the number of years since 2000 and y represents the number of MWh consumed person. Write a statement to interpret the slope b.2. The land area of Alaska is approximately 3.66 x 10^8 acres. The state was purchased from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million. Determine the price per acre to the nearest cent that the United States paid Russia. Letter Grade or P/NP6. Assignments: State the general types of assignments for this course under the following categories and provide at least two specific examples for each section. Reading Assignments1.
