To assist faculty and students in achieving
the goals of the department, courses are evaluated within the
last two weeks of the semester. One45 is used to administer
online course evaluations and ensures that the course
evaluations are confidential and anonymous. At the end of the
semester, aggregate course evaluation results are compiled and
maintained by DHI. The course instructor and the Chairman have
access to course evaluation results to review for course
improvement and program outcomes measurements.
Quality of Written and
Oral Presentations/ Projects/Tests
The
health information professional must be
competent in written and oral communication, and must be skilled
in presenting information in an organized and visibly attractive
format. In addition to being evaluated on the accuracy of its
content, presentations, projects, and tests will be graded on
grammar, neatness/legibility, spelling, composition and
pronunciation (oral assignments). Regardless of the accuracy of
the content, the faculty may consider failure to meet the above
conditions sufficiently important to warrant a failing grade on
the assignment.
Evaluation of Oral and
Written Presentations
Oral and written presentations are evaluated based on the
guidelines distributed by each course instructor.
Written Presentations:
APA format is to be used in the developed of written papers.
Faculty members reserve the right to require a specific format
for written papers and also to have a paper with gross
grammatical and spelling errors corrected before evaluating it
for content. An approved DHI Style Guide for preparing reports
is located on the DHI Website under 'Student
Resources.'
Tests and Final
Examinations
To protect the integrity of test items, tests
will be retained by the faculty. Faculty will be available to
discuss test results with the student.
