What is 100%?
When course directors should be in communication with Kim De Kruif.
What is "when it's time to enter grades into Unit 4" (the registrar's system)?
The two main reasons that feedback is important to students
What is to know where they stand with their learning/in the course AND to know what else they have to learn to pass the course?
Required assessments in a course should be mapped to at least one of these.
What is a course-level learning objective?
The individual responsible for preparing for the course review by evaluating the assessment data to determine the adequacy of learning in a course.
Who is the course director?

What is assessment?
The grade that is used only in the first two years of the KPSOM curriculum.
What is Conditional Pass?
The reason that course directors and deans must ensure mid-course feedback.
What is an LCME requirement?
Person to consult if you need help with writing prompts that align to your CLO.
Who is the Director of Faculty Educator Development or the instructional designer?
A course director keeps a spreadsheet of CLOs correlated with individual assessment items within the course, and updates this spreadsheet with the creation of each assessment/examination within a course. This practice supports this critical goal.
What is ensuring complete and adequate assessment coverage of CLOs within a course?
Assessment of professional behaviors in small groups most frequently maps to one of these EPOs.
What is Trustworthiness, Collegial Communication, or Self-directed Learning?
The individual responsible for entering course grades into Unit 4.
Who is the administrative course director?
The deadline for faculty to submit scores, ratings or other feedback in the KPSOM curriculum.
What is two weeks, or 10 business days, from the due date?
The level of student performance determined by the rubric should be mapped to at least one of these.
What are milestones for one or more EPOs?
Besides mid-course feedback, the LCME also requires this type of feedback in all courses where teacher-learner interaction permits.
What is narrative feedback?
This process requires review of the narrative comments provided in all courses for each student.
What is competency determination?
Grades for didactic courses are due 2 weeks or 10 business days after this day/date.
What is the last day of the course?
The individual primarily responsible for ensuring the timely provision of grades and feedback.
Who is the course director?
The person to work with to ensure that your rubrics are mapped to milestones.
Who is the Director of Faculty Educator Development/Office of Assessment and Evaluation Assessment Consultant?
The document that outlines what happens when a student receives a conditional pass or failing grade in a course. (Bonus point if you know where to find it.)
What is the Student Manual for Assessment and Promotion? (The Student Portal)
Competency judgements, grades, performance on Step examinations, and input from the LEAP Committee
What is the data reviewed to determine promotion and graduation?
Two reasons a student can challenge their grade or assessment data.
What is if they feel that the relevant assessment data are inaccurate, or not in accordance with the course syllabus?
The individual who should be notified when a faculty member is more than 5 days overdue in submitting a score or other feedback.
