What are the attributes of good pharmacy faculty (lecturers)? An international comparison of the views of pharmacy undergraduate students from universities in Australia and Wales, UK
This study aimed to investigate what La Trobe pharmacy students (Australia) considered to
be the attributes of a good lecturer (faculty member) and to compare the findings to
pharmacy undergraduates at Cardiff University, Wales, UK. A 22 item questionnaire,
developed at Cardiff, was administered to students at La Trobe University. Data were
analysed using descriptive statistics, and Mann-Whitney U Test or Kruskal-Wallis Test were
used to compare groups. Ethics approval was obtained. Pharmacy students believed good
lecturers (faculty) provided clear instruction and assessment criteria, were enthusiastic,
inspired students to do their best, motivated students to learn, were accessible for support
and started the teaching sessions on time. They also provided timely feedback and
illustrated the relevance of material to pharmacy. Australian and UK pharmacy
undergraduates in this study shared the same opinions on most aspects of the positive
attributes of faculty (lecturers)
