Objectives (course unit)
In this course, you will develop your basic mathematics skills to the entry level required for actual mathematics studies.
After completing the study course, you
• recognize the mathematical notations related to the subject areas and know how to use the most important of them
• know how to handle mathematical expressions that occur in technology
• can solve basic equations and formulas
• know how to use topics in technical tasks
• are able to logically present and justify the solutions you have chosen
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)
Student:
• recognizes mathematical notations related to the subject areas and know how to use some of them
• can handle simple mathematical expressions in technology
• can solve simple equations that are similar to the examples presented
• knows how to use subject areas in technical tasks under guidance
• the presentations and justifications of the chosen solutions may be incomplete
• there may be shortcomings in evaluating the reasonableness and correctness of the solutions made
Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
Student:
• recognizes the mathematical notations related to the subject areas and know how to use the most important of them
• knows how to deal with mathematical expressions appearing in technology
• can solve basic equations and formulas
• knows how to use topics in technical tasks
