|-Evaluation of student learning, throughout the term |
|-Evaluation of course materials, such as syllabi, textbooks, handouts, assignments, graded exams, graded papers, etc. |
|3 Processes for Improvement of Teaching |
| |
|-Objectives of the programs will be periodically improved when they are changed so that they are more relevant to expected |
|outcomes. |

|student work, periodic exchange and remarking of a sample of assignments with a faculty member in another institution) |
| |
|Department determines students’ progress by evaluating the existing course requirements, such as writing assignments, oral |
|presentations, or examinations, to measure student achievement, since students have more incentive to do their best work. |
