jlkhhylyiluh6 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi guys, I know that western is a pass/fail school but are there hidden class rankings that come into play at any point (ie on our MPSE or transcript)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralk Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi guys, I know that western is a pass/fail school but are there hidden class rankings that come into play at any point (ie on our MPSE or transcript)? Thanks! Never heard of a class ranking, don't know how they'd develop one given what gets spit out from our evaluations (particularly in clerkship), and didn't see one on my sample MSPR.

shikimate Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Have never heard of this issue. The only rank that matters is if you are 1st and wins award, or you are last and failed the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hidden? well in a sense as there are awards for that (including clerkship blocks). We use that in the awards and progression committees. But it isn't ever really released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolynH Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I'm sure all pass/fail schools keep track of the marks and evaluations of their students. They emphasize pass/fail so that students no longer have the pressure to obtain a high mark on a test. They want them to actually know their stuff rather than know how to take tests. This also makes students more willing to help each other rather than having competition between each other. If they will give out an award to the top student in the med class, they will do it discreetly! So yeah, there are rankings in pass/fail schools. They are just not revealed to everyone!

ploughboy Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 If they will give out an award to the top student in the med class, they will do it discreetly! The Gold Medalists in our class were acknowledged at convocation, and I don't think their identities were a surprise to anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
