Hi Med 1’s and 2’s,

This year, UGME is implementing a change to how course evaluations will be completed by students after each course. Ultimately, we hope this will simplify accessing evaluations and encourage a moment to pause at the most relevant time to provide your feedback.

What you need to know:

1. Course evaluations are mandatory – in fact, this is the only truly required program evaluation during Pre-Clerkship. Your feedback directly impacts course improvements, just as past students’ feedback has shaped the courses you are receiving now.

2. Dedicated time and space – based on input from student and faculty leadership, course evaluations will now be completed right after your exam, in the exam room.
• Course evaluations are to be completed AFTER you submit all exams. You are not expected to use exam time for these evaluations. Course evaluation surveys can be completed in the exam room after the exam time has ended (as long as your exam has been submitted), or earlier if you finish your exam early.
• We shouldn’t be keeping you long. On average, a course evaluation takes about 5-7 minutes to complete.

3. Delivered via Examsoft/Examplify – for ease of access, course evaluations will be available as a separate download via the examination system. Evaluations staff will provide instructions re: downloading, but it should look similar to your examination downloads. All responses will remain anonymous.

Reminder…

What course evaluations are not:

They’re not for feedback on specific exam questions – this should be submitted during the exam. However, in a course evaluation you can (and should) provide general feedback on whether the course assessment felt fair and appropriate.

Thank you!
