Thedegree of implementation of the OBE by the faculty will impact the success of the APM.Students in the university are exposed to the OBE approach since they join the institution. Theytake specially designed courses that introduce them to the learning outcomes. They are taught onhow they look for evidence and how they reflect on their learning experiences. However, oftentimes the piece of evidence that the students provide to show that they have satisfied a givenZULO, does not support the indicators that satisfy the outcomes. Therefore, they need to
