What is the Quantitative Reasoning Approach (QRA) course? How is it different from the current mathematics requirement?
The QRA course (GSR 104) is based on a recommendation made by the Mathematical Association of America that undergraduate mathematics requirements for students who are not majoring in math or science should stress quantitative literacy. That is, all students should be equipped with the mathematical skills they need to make informed judgments in their academic and civic lives. These skills include the ability to interpret mathematical models, such as graphs and tables, and to use mathematical methods, such as algebra and statistics, to solve real-world problems. The QRA course is a new course; it does not exactly match any existing Gallaudet math course. It incorporates some topics from MAT 101 and MAT 102, but it has more emphasis on practical problem solving.
