Alternative Assessment Tool (AAT)

Assessment is an ongoing process that begins with establishing clear and measurable expected outcomes of student learning, provides students with sufficient opportunities to achieve those outcomes, and concludes with gathering and interpreting evidence to determine how well students learning matches expectations. In order to encourage innovative methods while delivering a course, the faculty members are encouraged to use the Alternative Assessment Tool (AAT). AAT is conducted twice in a semester in each course.

Regulation: BT23

AAT – 1 and 2 components are as follows
