Proposal Status:

Review Complete

Description of Project: The UCSF School of Medicine predominately uses comprehensive syllabi rather than textbooks for the first two pre-clinical years. These syllabi have developed significantly since their inception through major efforts from the faculty, but unfortunately student feedback has been difficult to effectively coordinate, analyze, and integrate.

Accountability Tool for Tenured Faculty in the Graduate Division at UCSF

Submitted by Bethany Simmons on July 13, 2012 - 2:48pm Last revised by Web Producer on August 25, 2014 - 10:07am.

Proposal Status:

Review Complete

Tenured faculty members in the Graduate Division at UCSF (biophysics, tetrad, etc.) run labs consisting of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. However, these tenured faculty members are not held to task in their mentoring responsibilities and very talented students sometimes slip through the cracks. Faculty members are typically chosen by their ability to do great science and not on their ability to run functional well-balanced labs.
