What is the QLP?
The Quantitative Literacy Program is part of UTSA’s Quality Enhancement Plan to address the critical need for quantitative skills in students by enhancing core curriculum of select courses.
The goal is to teach students to think critically when solving problems that involve observing andinterpreting data.

In regular (non-Q) courses, information and data are presented to students in a lecture format and discussed.
In a Q-course, students generate and analyze real-world data sets appropriate for the subject.
Example: For example, students in Intro to Archeology investigated the findings of a small Prehistoric cemetery and tabulated the findings.
How are Q-courses different from regular courses?

Grading Tips
Each section of the course needs its own Excel file.All assignments for the assignment are to be put on
one excel sheet.Student Rosters provided through Blackboard Learn*Zero vs. Blank student scoresMake notations and comments on each question while
gradingTotal ColumnsBe careful copy and pasting from Blackboard to Excel

Collecting Data Tips
Multiple TA’s Example: One of you could be a “Lead TA” who is in charge of collecting and
compiling the grades for that class’s assignments.
Don’t use email to transfer student info/grades. When submitting data to QLP, only Q questions need to be
sent.
Due Date for All Q-Data: Study Days

Clarity of Expression
5 = text clearly, completely, and accurately explains points of graph/chart.
3 = text needs more than one reading to understand the points of the graph/chart or is missing some information
1 = text does not clearly or adequately explain points
![Page 21: QLP TA Training Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681623e550346895dd27481/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Editing
5 = text has no/few distracting editing problems (spelling, punctuation, grammar)
3 = text has some editing problems that are somewhat distracting
1 = text has excessive editing problems which shift the focus from the message to the editing problems.

Practice 1: What score would you give?
Prompt: State the comparisons represented on the graph between the average lean body mass for males and females.
1. Males are heavier. _________
2. Males have an average lean body mass of 53.2 kg, which is approximately 10 kg. higher than that of females, who have an average lean body mass of 43.0 kg. _________
3. Males have an average body mass of 53.1 and females 43.0 _________

Practice 2: What score would you give?
Prompt: The two variables collected for the study were lean body mass (in kilograms) and metabolic rate (in kilocalories). Using complete sentences, identify at least 2 variables that could have contributed to this study.
1. We need to study how old they are and how often they work out. ________
2. The study should consider the number of calories individuals consume per day,
the age of the individuals in the study, and the hours per week the individuals exercise. ________
