title: [Course on industrial medicine in graduate education of medicine and surgery at the University of Modena. Critical analysis of the judgment of students of the academic year 1993-1994].
abstract: Assessment of teaching activity based on the judgment of students can provide useful information which can be used to revise and improve the courses. In the academic year 1993-1994 the course of "Occupational Medicine" was assessed in the Medical School of the University of Modena. Fifty-six out of 62 medical students participated in the study. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to obtain information on usefulness, clarity (presentation and visual aids quality), cultural and professional interest. Each student was requested to assess these aspects on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (poor) to 5 (very good). The results show that some lectures ("Occupational History", "Allergic respiratory diseases") were considered more useful and more interesting from a professional point of view. No difference was found among the lectures with respect to clarity, which was considered as "good". Clarity depends mostly on the quality of the visual aids. The students suggested that 80% of the program should be covered during the course.
