In addition, the students will be given self-assessment or personality evaluation tests before and after the start of every semester. They will be asked, among others, to assess about their levels of faith, righteousness and personality development in terms of their relations and duties to Allah, to their selves, families, relatives, neighbors, friends, and the society as a whole.  In short, the students will be asked to what extend they implement the virtuous Islamic teachings they learn from their Islamic lessons.  In this way, they will be made conscious of their obligation to implement every Islamic knowledge that they learn and share it to others for the sole pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. Examinations (both objective and essay types of questions) for some subjects will be conducted online using the MOODLE (Modular Object Oriented Delivery Learning Experience), the most sophisticated yet versatile and friendly mode of delivering online courses,  where professors and students can login for easy and effective teaching-learning purpose.  To avoid cheating, students from the time they will file their application for admission, have to agree on the institution's policy for them to observe honesty and avoid any sort of cheating, including plagiarism.  Prior to their taking the examinations, they will be reminded of the Qur'anic injunctions as well as authentic ahadith on the punishments for cheating and lying.  In addition, since the MOODLE has a timer for examinations, students will not have time to cheat.
