Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) expand a function in a Taylor series about a point;
2) use polar coordinates and classify conic sections;
3) identify and use vector operations;
4) calculate and differentiate multivariable functions;
5) identify local minima, local maxima and saddle points of a function of two variables
6) evaluate double and triple integrals.
Program Learning Outcomes/Course Learning Outcomes 1 2 3 4 5 6
1) Apply effective and student-centered specific teaching methods and strategies in order to improve students’ mathematical thinking and problem solving skills.
2) Design lesson plans based on how students learn mathematics and students’ difficulties in learning mathematics.
3) Demonstrate knowledge in various areas of mathematics (such as analysis, algebra, linear algebra, geometry, topology, mathematical modeling, statistics and probability, differential equations) and nature of science and mathematics.
4) Display knowledge and skills in developing programs, teaching technologies and materials in order to teach mathematics in effective and meaningful ways based on student needs.
5) Evaluate and assess students’ individual developmental paths, difficulties in understanding mathematics in multiple ways and use assessment results in improving teaching and learning.
6) Have an awareness of students’ social, cultural, economic and cognitive differences and plan the lessons and activities based on this awareness.
7) Collaborate and respectively communicate with colleagues and student parents such that students learn mathematics in best ways and at the same time feel happy and safe. Work effectively within teams of their own discipline and multi-disciplinary as well as take individual responsibility when they work alone.
8) Have awareness of need for life-long learning. Access information and following developments in education, science and technology. Display skills of solving problems related to their field, renew and improve themselves and critically analyze and question their own work. Use information technologies in effective ways.
9) Use scientific investigation effectively to solve problems in mathematics teaching and learning based on scientific methods. Critically investigate, analyze and make a synthesis of data, and develop solutions to problems based on data and scientific sources.
10) Exhibit skills of communicating effectively in oral and written Turkish and command of English at least at B2 general level of European Language Portfolio.
11) Have awareness of and sensitivity to different cultures, values and students’ democratic rights.
12) Display ethical and professional responsibilities. Have awareness of national and universal sensitivities that are expressed in National Education Fundamentals Laws.
13) Demonstrate consciousness and sensitivity towards preserving nature and environment in the process of developing lesson activities.
14) Display knowledge in national culture and history as well as international cultures and recognize their richness. Have awareness of and participate to developments in society, culture, arts and technology.
