Programme outcome Attainment Matrix
Level 3- Highly Addressed, Level 2-Moderately Addressed, Level 1-Low Addressed.
Method is to relate the level of PO with the number of hours devoted to the COs which address the given PO. If >40% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is addressed at Level 3
If 25 to 40% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is addressed at Level 2 If 5 to 25% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is addressed at Level 1
If < 5% of classroom sessions addressing a particular PO, it is considered that PO is considered not-addressed.

|
Listen to other Team mates |
Is always talking; never allows anyone else to speak | Usually does most of the talking; rarely allows others to speak | Talks good; but never show interest in listening others |
Listens, but sometimes talk too much |
Listens and speaks a fair amount |
