The Florida Board of Education has asked colleges to design courses for non-math majors to improve students’ mathematical thinking. The intent was to create courses based on projects to measure learning rather than tests and final exams. By definition, projects require students to look at a new problem and then apply concepts that they have learned. Use complete sentences to summarize your experience with the Mini-Projects. Please address the following. Which were your favorite and why?  Which were your least favorite and why? What advice might you give a student taking this course next semester?

Patient A and Patient B are feeling much better. The nurse visits them later in the day to check their blood pressure. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury.

Typically, mercury is measured as one drop per milliliter. TRUE or FALSE: One drop of mercury is smaller than one common eyedrop.

The dopamine medication prescribed for Patient B is measured in micrograms per minute. The nurse knows that the 80 milligrams of dopamine in the solution is equivalent to 80,000 micrograms. Which unit fraction can be multiplied by micrograms per minute to find how many milliliters of the dopamine infusion solution the nurse should deliver through the IV each minute?
