Decerjber 9 1975 Dear Dr. V isseman and Department of Microbiology faculty: During the past several days the Sophomore Class has been addressing itself to the policies and format of the Microbiology Course. V hereas these feelings have only just recently surfaced, to the point where three class meetings have been held to discuss them, they have be en developing throughout the semester. The Sophemore Class has agreed that the follo ing grievances are the principle ones involved: 1. Excessive amount of material covered during the course, in relation to the time allotted. Failure to faithful! ' ’ abide by the requirements stipulated by the School of Medicine Council •v ith regards to the elimination of coiurse content (i.e. not course time) in adherence with the current curriculum. 2. Non -cumulative grading policy rtiich is different in nature frexn all other Basic Science Courses. This policy has resulted in an ovei-v helmingly large number of students being unable to complete the coui ' se in the required time period. Effectively, this means that approximately 25 of the class will be seriously compromising their miniinester experience. 3- Because of (l) and (2) above, a disproix rtionate amount of time has been spent by the students in studying liicrobiolog ' , which has severe.l ' interfered with our other coursework. 4. General teaching quali ty has been below the standards of good medical education , Examples : a. too frequently the lectiires have been disorganized b. an insufficient number of handouts to supplement the lecture material; more extensive handout coverage would have facilitated our learning experience We are aware, of course, that many of the above grievances are irreconcilable at this late date. However, except for the exam policy, all the grievances are submitted in the hope that adjustments will be made in future Microbiology courses. Some specific requests of the Microbiology Department in connection with the present course are: 1. That the students final examination grade be averaged • Lth his her sectional exam average on a l 3:2 3 ratio respectively. One of our main reasons for requesting this is that it ill enable those students who failed one or more sectional exams to compleT:e the course on schedule. Under this new grading policy, students who achieve an overall passing grade will not be required to retake sectional exams during the minimcstcr. For those who do not achieve an ovc-rell passing gracie, the policy of making up sectional exams -would still appl ' -.
