Teacher Assessment
The Teacher Assessment team provides faculty in the MD Undergraduate Program with student feedback on their teaching.
Receiving Feedback
Through a more formal process, medical students provide feedback to teachers at the end of a required learning experience, such as a clinical rotation or a cluster of small group sessions. Using forms appropriate for the teaching activity (clinical, large group/academic session or small group), learners provide both a rating of their experience and narrative comments. To limit student survey burden, teachers won’t be assessed each time they teach.
Providing Feedback
For helpful tips on how students can provide constructive feedback, please have a look at Tips for Giving Feedback to Teachers.

Reports
In order to protect student anonymity, teachers (who have received a minimum of 4 assessments from students) can expect to receive their individual reports via the One45 system within 3 months of:
-
- End of term or course for Years 1&2
- Half way in the year and at the end of academic year in Years 3&4
If a teacher did not receive a minimum of 4 assessments, they can request informal feedback from their Faculty Lead.
