 Guidelines for course assessment
1. Assessment means primarily the assessment of course learning outcomes and program learning outcomes
covered by the course. Other additional types of assessment can be used if useful (such as the online student
survey or other assessment techniques).
2. Assessment is mandatory for all courses in each semester. Each faculty member teaching a course must
produce a course assessment report (CAR) as part of the course portfolio.
3. If a course has several sections and each section is taught by a different instructor, assessment must be done
for each section separately.

4. Each faculty member must keep his data at the most detailed level (marks by student, by outcome, and by
quiz/exam/assignment, etc.). Having the data at the detailed level will serve as evidence. It will also allow
generating any aggregation we might need later.
5. Assessment is based on two different levels, first is average score of all students in a specific program
outcome, and second is how well a student has performed in each course learning outcome.

6. The attainment of PLOs must be judged primarily by using the average score of all students in a specific
outcome.
7. Levels of satisfaction in Program Learning Outcomes is defined through KPIs set as follows:
 Level 4: Unsatisfactory is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is less than 50%,
 Level 3: Developing is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is between 50% and
65%,
 Level 2: Satisfactory is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is above 65% and ≤
79%,
 Level 1: Exemplary is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is equal or above 80%.

8. The final judgment of the attainment of PLOs is based on the followings:

Table 1: Criteria for attainment of PLOs

Exceeds Meets Progressing Does Not Meet
Expectations Expectations Towards Expectations Expectations
(EE) (ME) (PE) (DNME)
The average grade is The average The average The average
80% or more grade is between grade is between grade is less than 50%
>65% -≤ 79% 50% - 65%

9. When analyzing the results of the assessment of a course, we must necessarily pay attention to the
following cases:

 Cases with DNME in a specific outcome.

2
  Cases with PE in a specific outcome.

10. The analysis of the assessment results must be oriented towards:

 Identifying the issues and root causes behind the non-attainment of a specific outcome.
 Determining corrective actions to be taken in the following semester(s) to resolve those
issues and root causes.

11. Level of satisfaction in CLOs for individual student are defined through the KPIs set as follows:

 Unsatisfactory is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is less than 50%,
 Developing is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is between 50% and 65%,
 Satisfactory is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is above 65% and ≤79%,
 Exemplary is given to a student whose score in a specific outcome is equal or above 80%.

12. At the end of each semester / beginning of following semester, an assessment meeting will be held at
the department level in order to evaluate the teaching achievements and issues of the past semester
based on course assessment reports done for each course taught. An improvement plan will result
based on that assessment meeting. All faculty members should be involved and work to implement
the improvement plan during the following semester(s).

13. Process of reviewing of CLOs shall be based on data collected by CLO assessment. A CLO shall be
revisited in case an overall satisfactory level of that CLO goes below 60%. Recommendation (or
mapping) shall be discussed by and reviewed by OBE Implementation team and shall be forwarded for
further approval at BoS.

2.1. Attainment of Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) through direct

Assessment

Direct assessment of attainment of program learning outcomes considers quizzes, presentation,

assignments, midterm and final exam done by students during the whole semester and proceeds as
follows:

- Assign each question in exam to a specific program learning outcome and quizzes,
assignments.
- Count the marks allocated to each outcome.
- Count the average score achieved by students in each outcome.

2.1.1. Mapping Exams and Assignments to Program Learning Outcomes

The mapping between exam and assignments questions to program learning outcomes covered by
the course is given in the following table.

  PLO (1) PLO (2) PLO (3)

Assignments + Quizzes 5 10 5
Midterm exam 15 15
 Final exam 10 10 30
Total 30 35 35

2.1.2. Attainment of program learning outcomes

The degree of attainment of program learning outcomes according to direct and indirect
assessment, by using both the average score, is summarized in the following table.

4. Planned Improvements

4.1 Planned Improvements for Program Learning Outcome

The overall performance of all PLOs met the requirements. Hence no improvement is
needed.

4.2 Planned Improvements for Course Learning Outcome

The overall performance of all CLOs met the requirements. Hence no improvement is
needed.
