Evaluation Procedures

A formal self-evaluation of each student and the facilitator, with feedback from all group members, will be conducted after the conclusion of middle and final problems. The forms serve as a guide and should not be turned in after the middle (Problem 2 in Fall and 3 in Spring) problem.

Evaluation/Grading of Students
After the conclusion of the final problem (Problem 4 in Fall, 5 in Spring), the results of evaluations of each student will be summarized by the facilitator on the form "Tutorial Group Members Guide (Self, Peer, Facilitator) for Evaluation of Students". The facilitator will send these forms, which serve as grade sheets, to Dr. John Berg, Chairperson, Department of Clinical Sciences, Small Animal Hospital, Grafton Campus.

Evaluation of Facilitators
Each student will complete the form Tutorial Group Member Guide for Evaluation of Facilitators and submit it to Dr. John Berg, as above. 1 00% of students are expected to turn in this evaluation form.

Evaluation of Cases
At the end of each case, each facilitator and student should complete the Problem-Based Learning Program - Case Evaluation Form, and submit it to Dr. John Berg. Please note that students should list their learning resources on the forms according to Instructions to Authors in the AVMA Journal.

Year-End Evaluation of the Course and Facilitators
