The search for constant improvement was introduced to me by Tom Donnelly, my track coach at Haverford College. Excellence to him is something that we can all attain, in any number of pursuits.
Really interesting how all but one of the teaching departments here is really good. I've noticed that these departments always have faculty in attendance that are not teaching, but instead evaluating how well the presenter is getting across information. They also keep tabs on how many people come, how many people are asleep, and can write test questions based on the information provided in lecture.
The department that is not good at teaching does not send anyone but the presenter to the lecture. Thus I feel that they have a lack of coaching within their department.
Unfortunate to see how much of our curriculum being test driven, without any more meaningful outcomes extrapolated from beyond the test. (referring to the USMLE step 1s here)
