What do you like least?

WSU pharm students were misled about the testing model/curriculum. The school withheld information and PURPOSELY did not inform any of its incoming and current students about the new testing model. Everyone found out on the first day of class, which is unethical. The website is misleading and states “competency thresholds will be no less than 70%.” However, the competency for all the classes are 80%, not 70%, which you will find out on the first day of class. Meaning, you must pass all your cumulative (final) exams and overall course grade with an 80%.

Any other information you want to share?

Go here if you want 4 exams in 1 day (4 times a semester), which end late on a Monday, & then you have to do pre-work (teach yourself all the panoptos, etc.) for a full day of classes the morning after. Also, there is a huge lack of transparency especially regarding the testing model. Everything is hush hush. The IORs (instructors of record) own the curriculum. Student concerns are immediately dismissed. Your choice.
