DundeeChest 3.0

After a short delay, we have now received the feedback from the phase 2 students for the respiratory block. 69 of the second year responded, which is a little disappointing, but the comments have proved to be very valuable, both negative and positive.

A more comprehensive response will follow, but for now, the main issues raised by the students are.

1. The order of the lectures is not always helpful.
2. The ward based teaching is too variable, with some students getting a lot out of it, and some not.
3. The students like the study guide (which I had thought you all wouldn’t, TBH), and want paper copies of it earlier.

We will be focussing on these issues primarily for next year, so thank you for the feedback. I was particularly encouraged that there were no complaints about lack of formative assessment in the block, in stark contrast to last year!!!

Positives were numerous, but the top 3

1. The ABG tutorial went down a storm, and Dr Stretton’s delivery particularly. In my defence, I did *write* the tutorial…. 😉
2. The MDT was well liked, but I totally accept that the roles should be rotated for each case
3. Changing private study into small group sessions was universally liked, with no-one asking for more private teaching time.

DundeeChest was well liked, and most of you preferred it to BB, apart from one person who prefers the BB discussion forums.
