Abstract

Purpose

Most faculty members are evaluated by their administration, in part, based upon student evaluation results. This study sought to determine the relationship between course evaluation scores and course grades, in order to ensure academic rigor and optimize faculty evaluation practices.

Methods

Overall course evaluation results were compared to average course grades for six allied health programs, over 3 years (n = 256 observations).

Results

There was no overall relationship between evaluation scores and course grades; however, individual differences between programs were seen.

Conclusion

Grades achieved in a course did not affect the overall course evaluations. However, since there was a correlation between grades earned and course evaluations for some programs in the School of Allied Health, the importance of utilizing multiple assessment tools to determine the effectiveness of a course must be stressed.

六个联合医疗项目课程评价与课程成绩的关系

目的大多数教师都是由他们的管理部门评估的，部分是基于学生的评估结果。本研究旨在确定课程评估分数与课程成绩之间的关系，以确保学术严谨性并优化教师评估实践。方法将课程总体评价结果与6个联合健康项目3年来的平均课程成绩进行比较(n = 256个观察结果)。结果学生评价分数与课程成绩之间不存在整体相关关系;然而，不同项目之间存在个体差异。结论某门课程的成绩不影响课程的整体评价。然而，由于在联合健康学院的一些项目中，成绩与课程评估之间存在相关性，因此必须强调利用多种评估工具来确定课程有效性的重要性。
