 concept, what can the student learn about the given concept, or what can the
student adequately reveal to others about the concept.
 Quiz. It is utilized to assess student learning in a timed and closed environment.
Primary attributes tested centered on recalling, understanding, applying
analysis, evaluating, and creating.
3. Learning Tasks. Measure the reasoning skills, knowledge and effect of the learner.
These are designed to ensure that students achieve the intended learning outcomes
(ILO) and develop domain-based skills at a range of levels.
4. Integrative Documentary Portfolio. An INTEGRATIVE DOCUMENTARY
PORTFOLIO (IDP), a university-wide requirement, is to be submitted at the end
of the semester. IDP, which composes the 20% of your overall grade, is a
presentation of an organized documentation of growth and achievement of
students that provides tangible evidence of the attainment of professional
knowledge, skills, dispositions, and attributes specified in the program outcomes.
Integrative in a sense that each student will only produce ONE documentary
portfolio, a learning story, in all subjects.

The reflection explains the artifacts,
their salient features, and how they are
relevant to the desired program
objectives.
The reflection explains how the
artifacts influenced the learning.
The reflection considers the strengths
of the artifacts, as well as aspects of
learning that you would improve or
modify to use in your practice.
The reflection is anchored in theories
and research from across the
discipline.

 3 – Exceptional – adequately evident in the portfolio;
2 – Satisfactory – with high evidence but fall short in terms of
adequate relational presentation between artifacts and program
objectives/outcomes;
1 – Acceptable – evidences are less representative of the chosen
program objective. Relational presentation is weak.
