Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, and after:

The Vice Rectorate for Educational and Academic Affairs has always pursued an approach characterized by constant pursuit of education service and development; To build a distinguished academic environment that supports excellence and creativity in learning and teaching, and to improve educational outcomes to keep up with development plans and meet the needs of the labor market. The Vice Rectorate is committed to its approach to continuous development and updating in line with the continuous developments in the educational field through the implementation of a number of developmental programs and projects.

In view of the remarkable development witnessed in recent years regarding the concept of evaluation, its strategies and tools; The Vice Rectorate for Educational and Academic Affairs has sought after activating these procedures in measuring learning outcomes and results in academic courses by adopting and supporting the Rubrics project. By which we can evaluate student performance through a set of criteria associated with educational goals that describe student performance at multiple levels. It contributes to accuracy, objectivity and transparency in evaluating students’ work and improving their performance assessment practices in the academic education. Moreover, it also achieves excellence in the field of learning and teaching with a clear vision that ensures the effectiveness of teaching and the quality of learning outcomes.

Hence, we urge faculty members to make the most of this project and its outputs, which we hope from God will bring about a distinct shift in assessment processes and procedures and contribute to diversity in this field.
