What impressed you positively?
students seemed nice.
What impressed you negatively?
I was very negatively impressed by the new curriculum, which includes a long quiz every Monday morning from 8-10am that tests students on everything they learned the previous week. First year med students said that the quizzes just stressed them out and that they could never enjoy their weekends. The students told me that many of them had communicated to the administration that the quizzes were stressful and unhelpful, but the administration is keeping the quizzes in place. I don't think I would want to go to a med school that has weekly quizzes and that doesn't respond to students' feedback.
