A rubric that supports a performance criterion is achieved, if 70 percent of the class achieves a score 70 percent in that rubric. Any LO is achieved if the performance criteria that support the LO are achieved. Any evaluation category with a weighted rank 70% is achieved but any weighted rank below 80% requires continuous monitoring to ensure long-term quality assurance and viability. The assessment data is collected within the teaching semester, and is based on student performance in specific assignments, laboratories, tutorials and examinations that focus on the LO components. This data is collected from 2006 to Parametric statistical techniques are used to assess and evaluate the competency of students and their level of understanding based on their performance in the core LO components. The assessment and evaluation results are reviewed and approved internally by the. The tables in Appendices A, B, C, D, E, F and G contain the assessment results for the LOs. A sample copy of the assessment data and the assessment tools for Mi Eng 215 are contained in Appendix H. 1.4 Learning Outcomes Sections to contain the summaries of the assessment results for establishing the achievement of the LOs. The results have been used to make conclusions on the achievement of the LOs for the Mining Engineering program. 3
