Assessing and improving the quality and educational capability of faculty members in universities is to improve the quality of programs, making appropriate policies and performing better educational activities. Faculty member’s evaluation by students is an important tool for both the lecturers and educational managers in educational planning. The aim of this study was to assess the trend of faculty member’s evaluation scores by students in Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2012-2016. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in faculty members in Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences selected via census sampling. We used the scores for faculty members using the electronic educational management system (SAMA). It allows all students to evaluate university lecturers before final exams in every semester using a checklist. Data analysis was done applying descriptive and inferential tests in SPSS V22. The evaluation scores for faculty members (2012-2016) were evaluated. The scores ranged between 4.25±0.4 and 4.49±0.3. The mean evaluation scores showed significant changes whithin the years studied (P<0.001). The average scores for evaluation of faculty members changed significantly during this period. Usually the accuracy of information collected from students is questioned, therefore, further studies with quantitative-qualitative approach are recommended.

Background and purpose: Internal evaluation is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information to determine the benefits and disadvantages of a program and the extent to which its objectives are achieved. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of internal evaluation in clinical departments of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in two consecutive academic years. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed in all clinical departments of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. Data from eight domains of internal evaluation were collected using a checklist and some researcher-made questionnaires. Then, we studied the status of departments in eight domains of internal evaluation in relation to the standards and the status of all departments in two consecutive academic years. The evaluations for the years were compared and the dynamic trend was assessed. Data analysis was done applying descriptive statistics in SPSS. A good status of clinical departments was seen in most of the domains. Best performances within the two academic years studied were associated with courses, educational curriculum, and graduate affairs (74.53%, 78.66%, and 88.61%, respectively). Total scores for all clinical departments were 64.22% and 70.69% in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, respectively. Continuous internal evaluation reveals the strengths and weak points of the clinical departments. Therefore, more appropriate planning would be done and the departments could apply for further residency programs.

Using the process of structured studies, using the process of structured studies, data was studied. In this study, the lesson plan was examined from various aspects.
The results showed that more than half of the lessons were in a moderate condition. Most of the weaknesses were related to minor goals and behavioral goals, assessment methods, teaching aid and how to use it. The presentation of the lesson plan in the classroom was not in desirable condition, most faculty members agreed to formulate the lesson plan before the start of the training, but the high workload, the constraints of facilities and training facilities, and the high number of students prevented the preparation of the course. The lesson plans were based on the curriculum, and the classroom teachers were guided by the lesson plan. Considering the necessity and importance of developing lesson plans in improving the quality of student's education, holding workshops on teachers can provide their knowledge and attitudes for the formulation and implementation of lesson plans.
