I'm really having a hard time coming up with any GREAT ideas for the QA assignment. I have a couple ideas, but nothing that I really think is good enough to spend my time on. I guess that means nothing has quite interested me enough to want to work on it yet. So...I really have nothing to report there.
As far as the Clinic Day Sheet goes, I appreciate all your feedback on that! This is kind of fun to work on...I like the idea of having a very explicit scoring mechanism, so there is not a lot of wavering and thinking it though if you are the faculty member doing the grading. And also, the students will understand exactly what is expected from them, and there will be no question about why they did not get all the points if they didn't complete all the tasks they should have.
So, that brings us to the OSCE...I started out with a bang on this, but I feel like I'm really losing steam. I really appreciate all the feedback on this as well. I have put it aside for a couple weeks, and now it is time to tackle it again. I think that is what I will focus on this afternoon, so hopefully I will have a better idea of how this is going by the time we get to class tomorrow.
Hope you are all doing well! Just 5 weeks left until the end of the semester!! I feel like one of the undergrad students! Looking forward to the warm up later this week after the unwanted snow this morning! See you tomorrow!!
Hey KJ,
ReplyDeleteNice work on your day sheet assignment. I posted some comments in my blog about it today. I liked the simplicity of the form. Each area would be evaluated with critical areas already identified. No fumbling for another form to see what is a critical error. The student also knows why their grade is what it is based on simply circling what did not go well in the session.
See you tomorrow!
KJ
I don't know if you already have an idea for the QA assignment, but our exit interview form that we have the students complete is weak. It is mainly a list and depending on how motivated the student is it can be pretty short and incomplete. I will email you a copy of what we have. If you already have another idea just toss it.
