In first year we started in late Jan, and finish in early Dec, so im sure we cover the same amount of stuff in 4 yrs anyway. the undergrad uni here has jokes about our uni, along the lines of us post-grad students needing child care to go out on weekends :) Good luck with your dash towards exams.adsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846297745517755566.post-46690515946756953302007-09-19T17:24:00.000+10:002007-09-19T17:24:00.000+10:00Thanks, ads.

This leads to some bias.<br><br>Furthermore, we are then asked as senior clinicians to teach students when the whole focus of teaching has changed. Students don't know what we expect them to know, they aren't interested or ready to learn what we have to teach.<br><br>This is very frustrating as a clinical teacher, and our only conclusion is that the courses are not delivering what we expect.<br><br>Not to say that the shorter courses are better than the longer ones - the curriculum is changing in both.Sheepishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14217493023930132326noreply@blogger.com
