Formation
The Curriculum Development Committee (CDC) resolved at its meeting on April 2, 2003 to:
– form Phase Committees for Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the new Medicine program 3802, and
– that membership and roles of these committees will evolve over time,
– that members will be appointed by CDC, and
– that CDC will have an oversight role of the Phase Committees.
Functions
- To continuously develop a framework or blueprint for the phase, which effectively integrates its component courses.
- To review teaching, learning and assessment activities submitted by course convenors, to ensure that assessments are integrated and aligned with graduate capabilities and teaching activities; the phase committee will have the authority to accept or reject such activities for a course.
- To convene groups to set assessments according to the requirements of the blueprint.
- To develop standard-setting procedures and examiner training for portfolio marking.
- To oversee the conduct and marking of assessments (assignments and projects), portfolio reviews and the training of examiners/markers.
- To review evaluation and assessment data for the phase, and suggest modifications to content and design of teaching activities and assessment as appropriate.
