Abstract
Objective. To assess the reliability and validity of course evaluation data. Methods. A correlation study was conducted using archival data from pharmacy student course evaluations. Bivariate relationships between eight course-rating items and overall rating item and the extent to which course type, level, and grade point average moderated these relationships were analyzed. Results. Significant bivariate relationships were found between the eight course evaluation rating variables and the overall course rating variable. Pharmacy practice course type significantly moderated the relationship between all predictor and criterion variables. Conclusion. Pharmacy school administrators should consider individual course evaluation item ratings when making decisions regarding course offerings or faculty promotion and tenure.Keywords: curriculum evaluation; instructor evaluation; program evaluation; reliability of course evaluations; validity of course evaluations
