But what about integrating course evaluations into the curriculum? As a necessary part of the learning process? Critics believe instructors will receive bad data if evaluations are mandatory (Lariat, 2016), but we believe this is not the case. If handled with care, mandatory evaluations can increase the quantity of responses, but not diminish the quality of the responses. The case study we'll assess is the UME Program at OHSU. We'll review how the program encourages mandatory participation, and evidence there is no diminishing of scores or quality of responses. 000041857 540__ $$fCC BY 000041857 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000041857 650__ $$aFocus Groups$$029719 000041857 650__ $$aCurriculum$$017249 000041857 650__ $$aLearning$$021358 000041857 650__ $$aStudents$$026489 000041857 6531_ $$astudent evaluations of learning 000041857 6531_ $$aeducational research methods and models 000041857 6531_ $$aassessment of learning 000041857 6531_ $$aeducational research findings 000041857 6531_ $$aclassroom/didactic teaching 000041857 692__ $$aTeaching and Learning Center$$042356 000041857 7001_ $$aWilliams, Larry$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041857 7001_ $$aIto, Tomo$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041857 711__ $$aSymposium on Educational Excellence$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2023 000041857 8564_ $$948dccc70-93b0-43d1-b84e-8e2d02cc2746$$s145919$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/41857/files/Abstract_SEE2023_WilliamsLarry.pdf 000041857 980__ $$aOHSU Symposium on Educational Excellence (SEE) 000041857 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-09-07
