Grading is the part we all find most challenging \u2013 after all, we want to be teachers, not graders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The e-value system that UWSOM uses is not so user friendly, and there are changes every year to try to \u201cimprove\u201d (i.e., \u201cmake less bad\u201d). Here\u2019s a step-by-step that we\u00a0hope will help:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Credits<\/strong>: Usually this is “8\u201d for a 4-week APC and APC Sub-I Course. Feel free to leave it blank we can fill it in. BTW \u2013 any time we say \u201cleave it blank\u201d and the system seems to insist that you write something, feel free to put in \u201cXX\u201d or some asterisks or \u201cI have no idea\u201d and we can still fill it in.<\/li>\n
  2. Clerkship director\/faculty<\/strong>: Feel free to put in your name here.<\/li>\n
  3. Student number<\/strong>: That\u2019s the UWSOM student ID. If you don\u2019t have it leave it blank \u2013 we have them all.<\/li>\n
  4. Final grade<\/strong>: This is the clinical grade that you feel the student deserves, based on your review of the clinical performance.\n
      \n
    1. Note that if you choose a \u201cword grade\u201d that doesn\u2019t seem to align with the Likert scores and the comments, we usually contact you for a conversation to get a better understanding of why it is not in alignment.<\/li>\n
    2. We ask that you not use the \u201cNo Grade Now\u201d \u2013 that is saved for special circumstances like in-completes, etc. We would be\u00a0talking before we\u00a0marked that one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. 12 domains marked as Likert scores<\/strong>: Each one of these has some verbiage that is supposed to make it clear what we mean by levels of performance for \u201cKnowledge of Subject\u201d, \u201cData-Gathering Skills\u201d etc. Mark for each or \u201cN\/A\u201d if it\u2019s something the student really doesn\u2019t do.<\/li>\n
    4. Bioethical Component and Mini-CEX<\/strong>: Type in \u201cN\/A\u201d.<\/li>\n
    5. Final Examination Grade<\/strong>: Type in \u201cN\/A\u201d.<\/li>\n
    6. Overall Assessment<\/strong>: Almost everyone is \u201cMeets or Exceeds Expectations\u201d. If the student is \u201cMeets or Exceeds Expectations\u201d, leave the free-text box blank. If you click \u201cNeeds Development\u201d or \u201cUnacceptable\u201d, we have to explain it in the box that comes next, and we need to chat.<\/li>\n
    7. Concerns about Clinical Performance or Concerns about Professional Behavior\/Conduct<\/strong>: Again, if marking \u201cYes\u201d, it needs explanation in the text box. If \u201cNo\u201d, leave the text box blank (typing into the boxes even the words \u201cNo concerns\u201d flags the system that there is a problem, so better to leave blank).<\/li>\n
    8. Areas of strength\/areas for work-growth<\/strong>: here, we ask for 2-4 bullet-point-type comments. If there was a problem that didn\u2019t really rise to the level of the \u201cConcerns\u201d boxes above, you can put it in here using some constructive feedback wording.<\/li>\n
    9. Summary of overall performance (the \u201cMSPE\u201d Box)<\/strong>: Here, we type in the overall commentary, trying to touch on all the Competencies. The Dean\u2019s office has said this must be <300 words \u2013 not so easy! This paragraph gets dropped into the MSPE (the \u201cdean\u2019s letter\u201d) when the student applies for residency, so this one is important.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
