Welcome to the David Geffen School of Medicine Online Evaluation System
Starting in the 2003-2004 academic year, the evaluations of electives were moved into the CoursEval™ online system. This change has allowed us to greatly increase the response rates for elective evaluations, as well as add the evaluation of individual faculty.
For the 2003-2004 academic year, the average response rate for an elective clerkship was 90%. The highest response rates were from electives where the elective chair and student coordinators remind students to complete the evaluations at the end of the elective. If your elective has a lower response rate, we are happy to assist with suggestions on how to increase your response rate.
Each elective is responsible for providing the evaluation office with the list of faculty that the students may have interacted with. The students select their faculty from a "pick list" so it is not necessary to provide a new list for each rotation unless the elective has a large (over 30) pool of faculty that the students may have worked with.
We do not offer online access to evaluation data for the Elective Clerkships at the present time. Elective rotation and faculty reports are distributed each July by the 4th year colleges office. Please contact Gezelle Miller in Student Affairs for more information.

History of the David Geffen School of Medicine Evaluation Office and CoursEval™ The evaluation office at the David Geffen School of Medicine was established in 1992 under the guidance of the MEC (Medical Education Committee) in order to provide a centralized evaluation program for students to evaluate the curriculum and faculty.
From 1992-1999, students completed evaluations on OCR paper forms. This system was cumbersome to the students as well as the evaluation office, resulting in lower response rates and delays in providing feedback to the course/clerkship chairs.
In 1996, the evaluation office began researching a move to an online system in effort to ease the burden on on students, as well as increase security, anonymity, and quality of data.
CoursEval™ was developed by the University of Buffalo TASC (The Academic Software Collaboration, now a subsidiary of Academic Management Systems) with participation from the David Geffen School of Medicine. We implemented CoursEval™ in the Fall of 1999. CoursEval™ is now in use at over 80 health science schools across the United States.
CoursEval3™ will be released this summer and include many enhancements to further extend the benefits of the program.
