4. Course Learning Outcomes in NQF Domains of Learning and Alignment with Assessment Methods and Teaching Strategy On the table below are the five NQF Learning Domains, numbered in the left column. First, insert the suitable and measurable course learning outcomes required in the appropriate learning domains (see suggestions below the table). Second, insert supporting teaching strategies that fit and align with the assessment methods and intended learning outcomes. Third, insert appropriate assessment methods that accurately measure and evaluate the learning outcome. Each course learning outcomes, assessment method, and teaching strategy ought to reasonably fit and flow together as an integrated learning and teaching process. (Courses are not required to include learning outcomes from each domain.)

G Course Evaluation and Improvement Processes

1 Strategies for Obtaining Student Feedback on Effectiveness of Teaching Students survey through Taibah University website. 2 Other Strategies for Evaluation of Teaching by the Instructor or by the Department -A statistical regular review and analysis of the students’ achievement in the department. -Prepare a questionnaire which should be filled by the students at the end of the term. The questionnaire should be after that analyzed and carefully studied. 3 Processes for Improvement of Teaching -Arrange workshops. -Form committees to follow up progress and work on improvement. -Provide opportunities to improve academic courses and research through conferences. -Provide training and workshop opportunities for the teaching staff to improve their teaching strategies -Provide the teaching staff members with all the references and electronic resources. 4. Processes for Verifying Standards of Student Achievement (e.g. check marking by an independent member teaching staff of a sample of student work, periodic exchange and remarking of tests or a sample of assignments with staff at another institution) -Check progress level of the students (this can be done by an independent teacher by reviewing students’ records and compare the student's work with another from a different institute). -Review answer sheets of the students using the same method as above. -Review the answer sheets of the failed students.
