Ongoing evaluation of a behavioural sciences course for medical students: uses, methods, limitations.

This paper describes a system of ongoing student evaluation of a behavioral sciences course for medical students. Student opinion about all aspects of the course is tapped, using a variety of methods including formal and informal discussion between staff and students; and written evaluations of lectures, tutorials, textbooks, assignments, and methods of assessing students' performance. The evolution of the evaluation programme into its present form is described, together with the way in which student evaluations are used, and the limitations of these methods of evaluating a course.

Behavioural sciences in medicine at the University of Sydney.

The two-year preclinical course in Behavioural Sciences in Medicine at the University of Sydney is described. A brief history of the development of the department is followed by a description of the course objectives, and the way that these objectives are translated into course content. The supervision of assignment work in the community is considered to be an essential part of the department's work. Ongoing evaluation of the course contributes to its development and refinement.
