  5. ED-30 • The directors of all courses and clerkships must design and implement a system of formative and summative evaluation of student achievement in each course and clerkship. An important element of the system of evaluation should be to ensure the timeliness with which students are informed about their final performance in the course/clerkship. • In general, final grades should be available within four to six weeks of the end of a course/clerkship. • At BU they only give us 4!

  6. Form Design • Short – 1 -2 pp • Comprehensive • Easy to read and complete • Use very specific language on the form • Downloads in appropriate format
