Course-embedded Assessment Process
Element | Process | |
---|---|---|
1 | Connection between course and PO | Degree of connection given in percentages; Contribution to PO reflected by grading |
2 | Selection of courses for each PO | In principle, all courses are considered (Preference given to architectural engineering major courses) |
3 | Mapping between PO/PC and course learning objectives(CLO) | In principle, 1:1 mapping between PO and CLO; For some courses, 1:N is possible |
4 | Assessment of achievement of CLO | In principle, particular assessment method for each PO. summing of the results employing similar assessment method allowed |
5 | Subject of Course-embedded Assessment | In principle, course instructor; Program Steering Committee may designate one |
6 | Those Assessed | Each and every student in the program |
7 | Assessment Tools of Course-embedded Assessment | Mainly midterm and final examinations; assignments, presentations and quizzes may be selected for certain courses |
8 | Summing method for Analysis of Course-embedded Results | Simple arithmetic mean used |
