What method does the DAMD use to obtain feedback from students regarding their educational experience?

The Department of Academic Medical Division (DAMD) uses feedback surveys as a structured and systematic method to gather students' insights about their educational experience. Feedback surveys are designed to elicit specific information about various aspects of the curriculum, teaching effectiveness, and overall student satisfaction. This method allows for standardized responses, making it easier to analyze trends and areas for improvement. Surveys can cover a range of topics, ensuring that the feedback is comprehensive and actionable.

In contrast, other methods such as online discussion forums and informal class discussions may not provide the same level of depth and reliability. Discussions can be influenced by group dynamics and may not capture the opinions of all students equally. Observation by administration, while valuable for gaining insight into classroom dynamics, does not provide direct feedback from students about their individual experiences. Thus, feedback surveys stand out as the most effective and structured approach for collecting meaningful input from students.
