University of New Mexico

Statistical Literacy (Math 1300) has been approved as satisfying a mathematics requirement in University of New Mexico core curriculum and in the New Mexico Higher Education General Education curriculum. Statistical Literacy is a new course offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New Mexico (UNM Albuquerque) in fall 2021. Statistical literacy is critical thinking about statistics as evidence in arguments. This offering is arguably the first time a confounder-based statistical literacy course has been offered at a public university. Math 1300 is designed for consumers of statistics: students in non-quantitative majors (majors that do not require a mathematics course). Statistical literacy studies how statistics are constructed and manipulated. This paper reviews the steps involved in getting academic approval for Statistical Literacy to satisfy a mathematics requirement in the New Mexico general education curriculum. These steps include the Registrar's New Course request form, the syllabus, the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs), assessing Student Learning Outcomes and the relationship between the course goals and the Student Learning Outcomes. This course is approved for the branch campuses in New Mexico.
