GUIDELINES FOR COURSE ASSESSMENT

1. Assessment means primarily the assessment of student outcomes(programme outcome+programme speific outcome) 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 attainment
report (CAR) as part of the course field
3. CAR must contain both direct assessment (opinion of the teacher using quizzes, exams, assignments, etc.) and indirect assessment
(opinion of students through surveys).
4. Each faculty member must keep his/her 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 are based on the percentage of students achieving the very good-excellent-outstanding levels for a specific student outcome rather
than the average score of all students in a specific outcome.

5. Assessment are based on the percentage of students achieving the very good-excellent-outstanding levels for a specific student outcome rather
than the average score of all students in a specific outcome.
6. The attainment of student outcome must be judged primarily by using the percentage of students achieving the very good-excellent-outstanding
levels for a specific student outcomeand cannot be judged by using the average score of all students in a specific outcome. The AVG score can be used
as additional and informative only.
7. The final judgment of the attainment of student outcome is based on the followings:
Exceeds Meets Progressing Does Not Meet
Expectations Expectations Towards Expectations Expectations

EE ME PE DNME
>=80% or more of Below 60%
students are >=60% and <70% of students are
achieving the >=70% and <80% of students are achieving achieving the
satisfactory level of students are achieving the the satisfactory level satisfactory level
or above satisfactory level or above or above or above

8. When analyzing the results of the assessment of a course, we must necessarily pay attention to the following cases:
• Cases where we have DNME in a specific outcome.
• Cases where we have PE in a specific outcome.
• Cases where we have an important discrepancy (let's say > 15%) between direct and indirect assessment for a specific
outcome; especially if the direct assessment (opinion of teacher) is much higher than the indirect assessment (opinion of
students).
• Online Student Survey: if we have questions with DNME or PE, we should also comment them.

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

• Identifying the reasons, issues, and root causes behind the non-attainment of a specific outcome.
• Determining corrective actions to be taken in the following semester to resolve those issues.

Page 3 of 15
10. 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 meeting. All faculty members should be involved and work to implement the improvement
plan during the following semester.

Direct assessment of attainment of student outcomes considers exams, quizzes, and project/homework done by students during the whole
semester and proceeds as follows:
*Assign each question in each quiz, exam, homework, assignment, etc. to a specific student outcome

Page 8 of 15
 *Count the marks allocated to each outcome
*Count the average score achieved by students in each outcome
*Count the Number of students achieving the satisfactory level
