Course Description - MATH 108X – Math for the Real World

This course prepares students to understand, analyze, and solve real-life problems that require quantitative reasoning. Topics include the meaning of probabilities, how to read, critique, and apply statistical information found in news reports, public policy debates, consumer reports, and other daily life and professional situations; the use of mathematical models in describing, understanding, and making predictions about real world phenomena; and the mathematics of budgeting, loans, and investments. Topics will be illustrated by examples and applications from daily life and natural phenomena. Math for the Real World is to inspire students to act wisely when faced with quantitative challenges in collegiate coursework, employment, and daily living.

CES Dress and Grooming Expectations

All online instructors and graders who support BYU-Pathway Worldwide commit to upholding the CES Honor Code in their roles as institutional representatives, leaders, and mentors.

Employees teach students through example and counsel how to make choices that exemplify these principles and expectations, while recognizing that the roles of employees and students are distinct from each other, and their choices will reflect these differences. Employees have a higher standard for dress and grooming.

When choosing attire, employees make decisions appropriate for their professional role, responsibilities, purpose, and setting.

Dress for men and women should:

Be modest in fit and style. Dressing in a way that would cover the temple garment is a good guideline, whether or not one has been endowed. Accommodation may be made for athletic participation.
Be neat and clean. Sloppy, overly casual, ragged, or extreme clothing is not acceptable.

Grooming:

Hair should be clean, neat, modest, and avoid extremes in styles and colors.
Men's hair should be neatly trimmed. Men should be clean-shaven. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed.
