[Student evaluation of faculty teaching in molecular anatomy course at Nippon Medical School: results of a questionnaire survey].
For the purpose of improving education, the lecture and practices employed in the Molecular Anatomy Course were evaluated by students. The survey was performed with personal computer connected to a local area network and the results were readily exhibited on our website the following day. The total number of answers was 528 and the reply percentage was 31.2%. The average score (from 1: very bad to 5: very good) was 3.9, with a range of 3.2 to 4.8. Faculty teaching got better grades in the latter half of the period compared to those in the first half, particularly on "preparation" and "understanding". The correlation analysis showed a strong relationship between the understanding of the lecture and the orientation of practice. These findings suggest that constant evaluation by students during the whole period of the instruction is useful for improving the quality of education of our Anatomy Course.
