The mean scores of the 11 relevant items of the standard course evaluations from 2003 to 2008 are compared with the mean scores of the other 300-level science courses in the same period (see Table 3).
At the beginning of course implementation, extensive formats were used consisting of structured evaluation items covering the particular parts of the course.
Both groups remembered more items of the sequence in postblock reproduction of the last 10 items during the course of the experiment (ANOVA, effect of block, F 3.58, 64.48)=31, p<0.001).
The SF-12 asks for the presence and severity of 12 items over the course of the last four weeks.
The SF-12 asks for the presence and severity of 12 items over the course of the last 4 weeks.
The original instrument consisted of 13 items concerning the course of consultation (e.g., introduction, physical examination or diagnosis) and specific communication skills (exploration, emotion, information giving, summarisations, structuring and empathy).
We have discussed the relevance of comparing results of items where students and facilitators estimated the same course aspect separately (the five items 3, 5, 6, 19, 23) However, these items concerned aspects of the course of interest to compare since course experiences associated with these central aspects contributed to the overall learning environment.
The subscales measure the following dimensions of treatment satisfaction: (1) contact and treatment by the therapist (five items) (2) professionalism of the therapist (four items), (3) the course of treatment (four items), (4) receipt of information during care (four items), and (5) goal attainment (four items).
Regarding the assessment of the process, our research presented the subsequent results (Table 1): Table 1 Means and SD of process' assessment items in the course's questionnaire Items of the questionnaire Mean Std.
