(Q) Quantitative Literacy Course Designation
Quantitative Literacy (QL) is a 'habit of mind' competency, and comfort in working with numerical data. Individuals with strong QL skills possess the ability to reason and solve quantitative problems from a wide array of contexts. They understand and can create sophisticated arguments supported by quantitative evidence and they can clearly communicate those arguments in a variety of formats (using words, tables, graphs, mathematical equations, algorithms, etc., as appropriate).
