<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I have been asked by the QLit. Committee to check out other QLit.
Centers (Learning Centers, Tutoring Spaces), to get information
about space allocation. Could you please send a short description
of your facility (tutoring spaces, studying areas, computer labs,
offices, hours), and send it to me so that I can show the dean how
our space compares to others. <br>
<br>
Currently, our QLit. Center is in a small classroom which is still
used for seminars in the morning, but is reserved for tutoring and
computer lab use in the afternoon and evening. We are open from
2-4 on Sunday, 2-6 on Mon. through Thursday, and 7-9 Sunday
through Thursday, plus 3-5 on Friday just for calculus help. Some
days there is over-flow into the hall. The office is open during
the morning and afternoon.<br>
<br>
Our Quantitative Literacy Requirement changed this year. for the
classes of 2014 and after, the requirement is called QSR, or
Quantitative & symbolic Reasoning with a one course
requirement:<br>
</font><br>
<div align="left"><i>Hamilton expects that every student will
demonstrate facility in quantitative and symbolic reasoning by
completing <strong>one or more courses </strong>in at least
one of the following three categories:</i></div>
<ol>
<li> <i><strong>Statistical Analysis.</strong> The use of
statistical analysis to describe data and to make inferences.</i></li>
<li> <i><strong>Mathematical Representation.</strong> The use of
mathematical models such as those based on graphs, equations
and geometric objects to represent patterns, relationships and
forms.</i></li>
<li> <i><strong>Logic and Symbolic Reasoning.</strong> The use
of formal logic or symbolic reasoning such as in the following
examples: the proper construction of a computer program or a
formal proof; the analysis of language in linguistics; or the
study of music theory.</i></li>
</ol>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I hope to hear from you
soon.<br>
<br>
Thanks, and best wishes for a fine year.<br>
<br>
Mary<br>
