For the “Program Outcomes: Creative Problem Solving,” I chose an artifact from my Pre-
Calculus course. In MAT-171, I took this hybrid blended class for 12 weeks. To fulfill this skill, I
decided to use an oral presentation titled “How Is Math Used in Radiography.” For this
reflection, I will mostly be focusing on the slides of the presentation.

This assignment is a special one. Since junior year, I have dedicated personal time to
research radiography. So, when this assignment called for a presentation related to my discipline
and how math is used in that field, I naturally chose radiography. Throughout the presentation, I
presented facts about medical imaging as well as definitions of terms. For one term, the “15%
Rule,” I provided the audience with an explanation and a math problem. Using an equation and
the breakdown of the problem, the solution was reached with no challenges. Furthermore, as I
explained another term, I also provided an equation. This time, the problem-solving process was
an example from one of my sources.

Reflecting on this artifact, I felt that it was strong in not only the graphics of the slides,
but also being able to understand the problem. Before the problem started, I explained the
elements of the problem, then, the breakdown started. Using basic algebra, the answer was
found. For the second goal that I wanted to master, I chose to focus on identifying necessary
techniques to solve the problem. While the strategy is simple, the problem called for precise
understanding of the information given to reach the right procedure. From research of how mathis used in radiography to applying skills learned in MAT-171, I successfully created a
presentation related to my discipline.
