4. COURSE ASSESSMENT
The attainment of a CLO is judged through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) mentioned in Table 5 on
the basis of the average score of all the students obtained in respective CLO .

4.1 DIRECT ASSESSMENT

Direct assessment of attainment of course learning outcomes considers quizzes, presentation,
assignments, midterm and final exam done by students during the whole semester.
Table 6 indicates the CLO based marks distribution for direct assessment of students in IE242 Circuit
Analysis II. Both the Theory and Lab work are shown with their respective CLO based marks distribution
mapped over the respective PLO.

Subsequently each student is assessed on the basis of marks obtained in each CLO and the average score
of the class is determined. The attainment of CLOs of IE242 Circuit Analysis II is shown in Table 7 which
also reflects the achievement of PLO 2 and 5. The remarks indicates the level of attainment evaluated
using the KPIs.

4.2 INDIRECT ASSESSMENT (THROUGH SURVEY FORMS):

Indirect assessment of CLOs is carried out using students’ feedback survey form, which is collected at the
end of semester. The feedback is collected on attainment of every CLO through selection of a defined
rubric.. On the basis of assigned weights to each selection, the average score in each CLO of the course is
found and compared with the KPIs for indirect assessment of Table 5.

The snapshot of the summary of students’ feedback form of IE-242- Circuit Analysis II is shown in Fig 2 as
below

 Fig 2: Snapshot of Summary of Students’ Feedback

The Indirect assessment not only indicates the attainment of CLOs of respective course but also the
achievements of mapped PLOs. Results of Fig 2 are reproduced in Table 8 as

4.3 GAP ANALYSIS AND FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS

The Direct and Indirect assessment of students in course IE242 Circuit Analysis II indicates a gap of
around % as shown in Fig 3. It is expected that the gap would reduce on maturity of an OBE system
implementation at IIEE in forthcoming years.

Students are encouraged to overcome their deficiencies and do not limit themselves to class room
learning. Measures are being taken in current Fall 2018-19 semesters to improve their analytical and
designing attributes through open ended assignment essential to foster Complex Problem Solving skills.

To build familiarity to OBE system, CPD activities are also planned for undergraduates to cope up with
new teaching, learning and assessment methodologies.
