How are courses evaluated?
The passing grade for all BCIT OCHS 12-week courses is 60% (with the completion of all specified course requirements). Most courses have 2 assignments, a MidTerm exam and a Final exam). Assignments are usually emailed to the course tutor as an attached document in Word. Exams can be written at the BCIT Test centre during scheduled times or with a proctor.
Student surveys provide the primary data used to evaluate individual courses. If there is a major concern in a specific course, another means may be employed to identify potential methods for improvement. However, the SOM considers additional indicators such as student performance on in-house exams, USMLE performance, match results, CPX performance, AAMC graduation questionnaire, and other data to evaluate the larger curriculum. An annual Curriculum Profile Report is released by the Office of Educational Development provides a comprehensive look at all of these sources and is available online (available to UNC SOM only).
