Data Analysis

Data Shared With

Faculty and staff within our department

Data Sharing Methods

Face-to-face meetings

Data Summary75% of the students were able to draw a reasonable picture of the human biliary system (based on correct positions of organs relative to each other, and reasonable relative size to each other)

85% of the students were able to correctly identify 90% of the organs and ducts
Analysis SummaryGrades higher than 85% indicate outcome achievement
Next Steps PlannedSince this was a pop quiz, I felt the outcome was fairly impressive. Since drawing skills are not required as part of our class, I don't expect the image that is drawn by the the students will improve in ongoing classes. However, correctly identifying anatomy could be improved. A warning to the students that there could be a pop quiz at any time would encourage them to keep up with studies.
Learning OutcomesNo answer

Changes

DetailsThe use of a wheelchair or guerney for performing an x-ray exam was further integrated into the course. An evaluation by a performance test is still being considered. Will probably be pass/not pass. The problem is that performance exams take up a whole class period, while each student sits around waiting for their turn.

Tentative Future Plans

TermSpring 2014
Activities

Implementation of planned changes and reassessment

More DetailsWill trying adding in the performance exam using wheelchair and guerney, and decide if the time taken up by doing it is worth having less lecture and practice time
