8. REVIEW Meeting for Expediting Self Assessment Activities of Faculty of Science held on 18-04-2011 (Monday) in the Committee Room of Center for Undergraduate Studies, University of the Punjab. PROGRESS: Follow up with the Faculty of Science for the submission of their SARs is done but overall response rate is very slow and dismal.

9. LATEST STAUTS OF QEC Program Teams for most of the departments/ institutes/ colleges/ centers have been formed. Self Assessment Reports of 38 departments/ institutes/ colleges/ centers have been received and reviewed by QEC according to Self Assessment Manual (SAM). At the same time, executive summaries & implementation plans of 19 audited departments/ institutes/ colleges/ centers have been sent to the respective departments, HEC and Worthy Vice Chancellor of the University for further necessary action to enhance the quality of education.

10. TEACHERS & COURSES EVALUATION In order to enhance the quality of education, QEC has already circulated newly developed survey forms related to the teachers and courses evaluation. HODs will interact & coordinate with QEC staff to conduct survey at the end of each semester and also bring any change if required.

11. FUTURE PLAN To motivate the program team members for the implementation of Self Assessment Manual (SAM) by carrying out the meetings at departmental level. It may also include the visits of individual departments by QEC team if found necessary. Follow up of changes suggested by QEC with departments who have sent their SARs is also underway. Follow up for the submission of SARs has already done and will continue as well. Follow up of the Teachers and Courses Evaluation survey forms is also underway. Implementation plans submitted by different departments will also be followed up.
