The Course Instructor shall submit electronically an approved “Change-of-Grade Form” to the DAR
stating the reasons for the change and endorsed by the Department Chairperson and the Dean of
the College. The DAR should receive the approved “Change of Grade form” up to two (2) weeks
from the beginning of the following semester.

12.10.7. Course Learning Outcome Assessment

At the end of each semester the instructor shall conduct a survey among the students of the course
using the “Course Learning Outcome Assessment Questionnaire” for each course. The result from
the survey shall give the instructor feedback on whether the courses he/she is teaching are really
achieving the outcomes envisaged for the courses.

DU also conducts at the end of each semester a student’s online survey for each course to know
students’ assessment of the course and its instructor. The results thus obtained, are discussed by
the department chair with the concerned faculty members and necessary changes in the course
content or delivery if necessary are incorporated in course delivery for the ensuing semester.
