I think whatever wording is listed for the TGBM should also be used for the NSL program revision.

Here is a way to list it in the catalog description that avoids needing to list the courses which satisfy the QS requirement (which are listed in the AAS-General Direct Transfer program of study in the catalog):
MATH 107 Elementary Statistics I or other course satisfying the Quantitative
Skills requirement – see General Direct Transfer requirement for Quantitative Skills

We have already used similar wording for the natural science requirement in the NSL and the TGBM catalog descriptions.

Comment on Course Revision—MATH 102 by matteo http://blogs.nwic.edu/ccitems/2012/02/01/course-revision%e2%80%94math-102/comment-page-1/#comment-100 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 02:14:07 +0000 http://blogs.nwic.edu/ccitems/?p=583#comment-100 There was some discussion about making the language more accessible. here is a possibility:

Revisits familiar concepts such as linear and quadratic equations/graphs, from the point of view of the ‘new’ concept of function. Emphasis is placed on multiple representations of functions and their use as models for applications. Other topics include, but are not limited to, systems of equations and radical expressions.

if I understand your suggestion correctly, you are suggesting that in the sentence

-with an emphasis on linear and quadratic functions

we insert the words

-with an emphasis on THE PROPERTIES of linear and quadratic functions

and that we remove the remark in parentheses

-(but are not limited to)

The first comment I’ll take as a friendly amendment. The comment in parentheses was a specific request from someone at a site, and so I can’t take it as a friendly amendment, though of course I agree (and my original language reflected this) that the word “include” logically implies “but are not limited to”.

Comment on Course Revision—MATH 102 by Ted W http://blogs.nwic.edu/ccitems/2012/02/01/course-revision%e2%80%94math-102/comment-page-1/#comment-98 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:48:43 +0000 http://blogs.nwic.edu/ccitems/?p=583#comment-98 The proposed revision does a good job of aligning the current course content and outcomes with the catalog description. I have a few suggested changes in the wording to improve clarity. Note that I left out the parenthetical comment in the last sentence since the word “include” does not exclude other topics and it is not the practice in other course descriptions to have such a parenthetical comments.

Suggested revised catalog description: An introduction to functions as a key concept in algebra, with an emphasis on the properties of linear and quadratic functions, their graphs, and their use in modeling real-world applications. Other topics include linear and quadratic equations, systems of equations, and radical expressions.

Are they indicating that they are generic 300 and 400 level courses with the exact numbering to be figured out later, possibly as part of a sequence?
