Mathematics for Liberal Arts — WebAssign Homework, Quizzes & Exams

About MATH 115 at Liberty University

MATH 115: Mathematics for Liberal Arts is Liberty University’s survey math course designed specifically for non-STEM majors. The course description states it’s meant to “dispel the common notion that mathematics is only arithmetic or algebra” by exposing students to multiple branches of mathematics including logic, probability, statistics, geometry, and consumer applications.

For many Liberty students, MATH 115 is the only mathematics course they’ll ever take. It fulfills the general education math requirement for numerous degree programs without requiring the algebraic rigor of MATH 121 (College Algebra) or the statistical depth of MATH 201 (Statistics). Students pursuing degrees in Ministry, Communications, English, History, and similar fields typically take MATH 115.

The course runs on Liberty’s accelerated 8-week online schedule using WebAssign (Cengage) for homework, quizzes, and exams. The textbook is typically Miller’s Mathematical Ideas. Canvas handles course organization, discussion boards, and the critical written work submissions required for all exams.

Assignment Breakdown

MATH 115 follows a structured progression similar to other Liberty WebAssign courses.

Homework Assignments

Weekly homework completed in WebAssign covering assigned textbook sections. You must achieve a minimum score (typically 70%) before the corresponding quiz unlocks. Homework can be reattempted to improve your score and unlock access to quizzes.

Quizzes

Quizzes in WebAssign corresponding to each homework assignment. Multiple attempts are typically allowed, with the highest score counted. Quizzes are timed but offer flexibility through retakes.

Exam Reviews (70% Required)

Before each exam, you must complete an Exam Review in WebAssign and score at least 70%. The exam remains locked until you hit this threshold. Reviews can be retaken unlimited times, but struggling students often spend hours trying to unlock exams as deadlines approach.

Exams + Written Work Submissions

Three exams plus a final exam, all administered through WebAssign. Each exam is timed, open-book/open-notes, and requires documented written work. After completing each exam in WebAssign, you must scan or photograph your handwritten work and upload it to a separate Canvas assignment. Exams without written work submissions receive automatic zeros.

Discussion Boards

Two discussions requiring initial threads (200+ words) and replies to classmates. Discussion prompts often ask students to connect mathematical concepts to real-world applications or Christian worldview perspectives.

Topics Covered

MATH 115 covers a broad survey of mathematical topics rather than deep exploration of any single area:

The most common struggle points are logic/truth tables and consumer math calculations (compound interest, amortization). Students who haven’t worked with formal logic before find truth tables particularly confusing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What platform does MATH 115 use?

MATH 115 uses WebAssign (Cengage) for all homework, quizzes, and exams. Canvas is used for course organization, discussion boards, and written work submissions. Both platforms are required.

Is MATH 115 easier than MATH 121?

MATH 115 covers broader but shallower content than MATH 121. It’s designed for non-STEM majors who need general mathematical literacy rather than algebraic depth. However, “easier” is subjective — students who’ve never encountered formal logic or probability may find those sections challenging. Neither course is a prerequisite for the other.

What’s the written work submission requirement?

For every exam, you must document your problem-solving work on paper while completing the exam in WebAssign. After submitting, you scan or photograph this written work and upload it to a separate Canvas assignment. Exams without written work submissions receive automatic zeros — even if you scored well in WebAssign.

Who typically takes MATH 115?

MATH 115 is designed for non-STEM majors fulfilling their general education math requirement. Students pursuing degrees in Ministry, Communications, English, History, Criminal Justice, and similar fields typically take MATH 115 rather than MATH 121 or MATH 201.

I’m already behind. Can you catch me up?

Yes. We regularly help students who’ve fallen behind in Liberty’s 8-week format. We can complete overdue homework to unlock quizzes, pass exam reviews to unlock exams, and get you back on track. The sooner you contact us, the easier the recovery.

What’s the grade guarantee?

We guarantee an A or B final grade when we handle complete course management. If we fail to achieve this, you receive a refund per our guarantee policy. This applies when we manage all graded components from the point you hire us through course completion.

How quickly can you start?

Usually within 24 hours of receiving your course access and payment. For urgent situations, we can often begin same-day.
