🎯 Activity 2: SAR Mapping Exercise

---

✅ Objective

• Familiarize participants with the NBA Self-Assessment Report (SAR) structure and requirements.

• Develop skills to identify and link appropriate OBE-related documents to specific SAR sections.

• Enhance understanding of documentation and evidence needed for NBA accreditation.

---

🧑‍🏫 Facilitator Preparation

• Provide a sample excerpt from an NBA SAR focusing on a few key criteria/sections (e.g., Curriculum Design, Teaching-Learning & Evaluation, Continuous Improvement).

• Prepare a list or folder of typical OBE documents (Course files, CO-PO matrices, attainment reports, feedback forms, action plans).

• Provide a mapping worksheet template to record links between SAR sections and OBE documents.

---

📝 Activity Instructions for Participants

1. Distribute the NBA SAR excerpt and the OBE document list to participants.

2. Ask participants to:

   • Read through each SAR section carefully.

   • Identify which OBE documents serve as evidence or support for that section.

3. Record the mapping in the worksheet by listing:

   • SAR Section Title & Description

   • Corresponding OBE Documents (e.g., Course Files, CO-PO Matrices, Attainment Reports)

   • Brief justification for each linkage

4. Optionally, discuss challenges faced in mapping and clarify any SAR requirements.
