Analysis of Student Performance Ratings* A Response

Abstract

I have reviewed this study report primarily from the perspective of research methodology and statistical treatment since these are my areas of particular interest. The topic of performance evaluation addressed by Dr. Angus is one in which educators and supervisors of a practice profession such as nursing are continuously needing to examine and develop. Her study, although limited in scope, has added another dimension to the potential framework for valid evaluation of clinical performance, particularly in the area of differentiation in competencies within and between students.
