Abstract

Student outcomes are statements that describe the attributes, skills and abilities that students should acquire by the time they graduate. For quality assurance evaluation, these outcomes must be assessed through curriculum and extra-curriculum activities. In order to evaluate the level to which an outcome is met, it is necessary to select some courses where the outcome is highly covered. "Highly" covered can be identified using Bloom's levels, number of covered hours, weight of its assessment and others. Course goals must be linked to the student outcomes and defined in terms of measurable verbs. This paper presents a structured approach, using just the two outcomes "a" and "e" as an example, to assess directly and indirectly student outcomes in Mathematics. This is done through partial differential equation course by defining appropriate measurable course goals.
