- Use of newly renovated medical library for medical student
examinations. After extensive deliberation, the Committee agreed
that students may take their exams in the Health Sciences Library
except for the media centers. The policy will now read:
Exams are administered only at the following sites: Jordan 1-5, Jordan
1-14, Old Medical School Auditorium, Classroom C-1, Jordan Front
Laboratories, Jordan Conference Center (if available) and any open site
in the library with exception of the two media centers. Exams are not
to be worked on outside these sites. Exceptions for reasons of
compassionate need, disability, or illness are to be determined by the
Office for Student Affairs.
- Review of the current evaluation form used by medical
students to evaluate basic science courses. A copy of the current
evaluation form used by Cell & Tissue in the pilot WEB-based
evaluations was distributed. Suggestions for improvement will be passed
on to Jerry Short for possible implementation. The core of the
evaluations will remain consistent for all courses and allow a limited
number of additional items provided by each course.
