Topic VIII: Methods of Evaluating Objectives

Editing Methods of Evaluating Objectives

Restoring a Method of Evaluating Objective

Procedures for evaluating student performance should measure the degree to which the student achieves the course objectives stated in Topic II of the course outline. In order to align with the student learning outcomes of the course, you must state methods of evaluation consistent with the assignments section of the course outline and should clearly address the criteria by which assignments will be evaluated.

Note
Methods of evaluation must be consistent with the assignments section of the course outline.

For course objectives that involve skills and the "ability to do things", evaluated by observation of performance, state the level of competency required. You must include a final evaluation procedure (i.e. a final examination) in the Methods of Evaluation.

For degree-applicable courses, you must base grades on demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter and the ability to demonstrate that proficiency, at least in part, by means of:

  • Substantial writing assignments, including essay exam(s), written homework, research paper(s), laboratory or reading report(s).
  • Computational or non-computational problem solving exercises, including exam(s), laboratory report(s), fieldwork, homework problems.
  • Skills demonstrations, including class performance(s), fieldwork, performance/proficiency exam(s).
