    Q-designation  
Math 161 is a Q-designated core course:
Quantitative Reasoning (Q)Rationale: Quantitative Reasoning courses develop computational and analytical skills, the ability to reason about and solve real-world problems, as well as create and critically evaluate arguments supported by quantitative evidence.Quantitative Reasoning courses emphasize the MSU Core Quality of “Thinker and Problem Solver.”MSU Graduates are Thinkers and Problem Solvers who reason using relevant evidence gathered through scholarly, disciplinary and interdisciplinary methods. They analyze, construct or critique arguments taking into consideration premises, assumptions, contexts and conclusions. Graduates apply information literacy; the ability to skillfully consume (i.e. find, evaluate, and use) and meaningfully create information. They successfully anticipate counterarguments, but can respectfully consider, accommodate or incorporate opposing views as appropriate. Graduates independently, or collaboratively, demonstrate creative and innovative approaches to asking and answering questions, defining problems and identifying solutions, and creating knowledge or art.
