Resources for understanding what quantitative literacy is...
A St. Olaf's site gives summaries of QL at a good group of universities. There is no great consunsus, everyone seems to be muddling about.
A sample assessment test from Whittier suggests, to me, that QL is almost absurd as a college course. All of these questions are items that a student should pick up in a normal course of study with a reasonable set of distribution requirements, including a math requirement.
Michigan State University's final report on QL.... nice set of learning outcomes. They call for a QL Foundations course (rememdial math plus other stuff) and then Applied QL courses through the majors... interesting.
