Assessment Distribution
When the user clicks Assessment Distribution, the window shown in
Fig. 11 appears. In this window, the instructor can specify the percent
marks that an assessment contributes towards the final grade. Several
types of assessments are given in this window but the instructor needs
to specify marks distribution only for those assessments that are
covered in his/her course. All the assessments whose percent
contribution is nonzero would be displayed with a dark maroon color
to distinguish them from noncontributing assessments. The last line
automatically totals all the contributions.

SO Assessment Plan
Assessment of student outcomes is a key element in accreditation. For
example, in ABET accreditation, the curriculum is designed so that the
students achieve these outcomes through various courses. ABET
accreditation “Criterion 3” requires that students demonstrate the
attainment of eleven different SOs. These SOs are listed in Fig. 1. SOs
may be modified or additional outcomes may be introduced to suit a
particular program.
