21. CC-BY-NC-SA 21
In outcome-based education, a
“design down” process is
employed which moves from POs to
Course Outcomes (COs) and
outcomes for individual learning
experiences.
Outcomes at each successive level
need to be aligned with, and
contribute to, the program
outcomes.

25. Using Scoring Rubrics as
Assessment tool
CC-BY-NC-SA 25

26. Rubrics provide a powerful tool for
assessment and grading of student work.
There are three components within rubrics namely
(i) criteria / performance Indicator: the aspects of performance that will be assessed
(ii) descriptors: characteristics that are associated with each dimension
(iii) scale/level of performance: a rating scale that defines students’ level of mastery
within each criterion.
CC-BY-NC-SA 26

27. Open-Book Examinations (OBE))
Questions can emphasise more on problem solving, application of
knowledge and higher order thinking rather than simple recall of facts.
Assessment questions can reflect real life situations that requires
comprehension, information retrieval and synthesising skills of the students
to solve.
Set questions that require students to do things with the information
available to them, rather than to merely locate the correct information and
then summarize or rewrite it.
The questions in open book exam must take advantage of the format, and
give more weightage to application of knowledge, critical thinking and use
of resources for solving real complex engineering problems.
As the nature of questions is complex, it is to be ensured that the students get
enough time. Open book test questions typically take longer time compared
to traditional examinations.
It is advisable either to set less number of questions that encompass 2 or 3
concepts taught or allocate longer duration of time for the examinations.
