One effective method to develop a deeper comprehension of a subject or concept is to write down the steps on how to solve a generic problem in words.
Everyone has heard of writing up a how-to guide on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This is a how-to guide for solving a problem that is connected with a learning objective we have covered in Module 3 or Module 4. You should be able to use this how-to guide to solve a problem like this, no matter what the numerical values are in the problem.
For this discussion, you will be able to pick one of the learning objectives we have covered in Module 3 or Module 4 and develop a step-by-step list on how to solve the problem generically. Your post will contain all of the following:
• State the learning objective that you are covering. • The How-to Guide you created for solving a generic form of the objective in your own words. • Give an example to illustrate the learning objective.
1. Solve quadratic equations using several different methods. (L02)
2. Solve problems modeled by quadratic equations. (L02)
3. Solve polynomial equations using multiple methods.
4. Solve radical equations. (L01) 5. Use interval and union of interval notations. (L05, L07)
6. Solve compound inequalities. (L05)
7. Identify equations and inequalities. (L01, L02, L05, L07)
8. Synthesize a concept or objective to present to the class. (GenEd)
