Goals of the MST concluding experience are to provide the opportunity for the participants to:

• Demonstrate knowledge of the content and discourse of mathematics.
• Demonstrate the ability to reason mathematically, solve problems, and communicate mathematics effectively at different levels of formality.
• Synthesize knowledge gained from the MST experience.
• Make connections between and among the various mathematical experiences and between the MST coursework and the courses they teach.
• Demonstrate/document mathematical growth and maturity.
• Demonstrate what they can do with a piece of mathematics that they have not formally studied but are prepared to investigate.
• Model a process of self-assessment and reflection.
  

Requirements of the MST Concluding Experience

In addition to successfully completing 30 graduate credits, each MST student will be required to:

1. Develop a mathematical portfolio.
2. Successfully complete a comprehensive problem set in conjunction with a problem solving seminar.
