Program Evaluation: Preclinical Course Evaluations

For further information contact Kaye.Maxwell@jefferson.edu

Procedures developed for evaluating the content and presentation of lectures in the Foundations of Clinical Medicine course in 2002 have expanded to include all second-year and some first-year courses. Each evaluation is a custom instrument evaluating both general and specific aspects of each unit and identifying strengths and weaknesses. Because students return the evaluation booklets at their examination sessions, response rates have improved significantly over previous years. Response formats include Likert scale ratings, custom options and write-in responses. Reports to faculty are available in hard copy and PDF format for web posting.
