Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
a Discuss and argue about the nature of mathematics, what it is, how it is expressed, represented, and used
b. Use the different type of reasoning to justify statements and arguments made about mathematics and mathematical concept;
c. Discuss the language and symbol of mathematics.
d. Use variety of statistical tools to process and manage numerical data;
e. Analyze codes and coding scheme used for identification, privacy and security purposes;
f. Use mathematics in other areas such as finance, voting, health, medicine and business, environment , arts and design and recreation.
g.Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life.
h. Affirm honesty and integrity in the application of mathematics to various human endeavors.

a. Attendance: the highly accelerated pace of this course requires students to accept a great deal of responsibility for achieving their own learning
outcomes. While in online class, students are expected to actively participate in discussions and activities, and not just listen to the lecture. Outside
online class time, students are expected to spend hours of preparation which will include reading assignments, homework preparation, and research.
b. Class participation: Each learner is expected to actively participate on the assumption that each brings a wide range to the learning process active
participation may include asking thoughtful questions, being willing to consider new ideas, understand the complex idea having a cooperative attitude
and sense of humor. However, consideration of other students is strongly encouraged to avoid dominating class discussions.
 c. Online Assignments: an importance of this course is the completion given online assignments by the students. All online assignments work is
expected to pass before or on the dead line. Case studies are the primary method to evaluate students’ progress in this course. Learners are encouraged
to apply case materials to their assignment.
d. Academic Integrity Policy: every student is responsible to know the standards of conduct and expectations of academic integrity that apply
undertaking. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in the maximum penalty as define in the student handbook:
1. Cheating during exam (research the answer on the Google)
2. Submitting spurious assignment copied from previous material other than his own.
3. Copying another students work including assignment and online activities
4. Plagiarism
