I'm going to Uni in Australia and they seem to be really screwing up in their administration of the PBL course and it's evaluation.
Can those of you in North American schools describe the evaluation process in your university?
(At ours we have 4 domains ethic, pub health, clinical reasoning and biological sci.)
All domains are examined in 1 exam so you get 4 separate marks for writing one test! There are only 3 written exams in the year and one practical hands on exam at the end.
The strange thing is that you can fail one domain and carry on to 2nd year but your marks in each domain carry on. So in theory if you screw up 2nd year in the same domain you would have to repeat 2 years!!!
Just wondered if anyone has similar problems cause it's driving me nutz!!!
