M.Tech. / Course evaluation and student feedback forms an important part of any quality assurance programme in education. Since the Master of Technology Degree in Homoeopathy (M Tech Hom) commenced at the Technikon Witwatersrand (TWR) in 1993, no formal evaluation process with regard to programme quality has been conducted. The aim of this study was to conduct a formative student evaluation of the individual courses constituting the Master of Technology Degree in Homoeopathy offered through the Department of Homeopathy at the University of Johannesburg. The sample group consisted of the 2006 homoeopathy students registered for the following subjects offered through the Department of Homoeopathy: First Year: The Philosophy of Homoeopathy; Third year: Diagnostics, Psychopathology, Materia Medica, General Pathology, Systemic Pathology, Radiographic Anatomy, Auxiliary Therapeutics; Fourth year (B Tech): Diagnostics, Clinical Homoeopathy, Homoeopharmaceutics, Materia Medica, Research Methods & Techniques; Fifth year (M Tech): Practice Management and Jurisprudence, Clinical Homoeopathy, Materia Medica This was a descriptive study with both qualitative and quantitative aspects. For each subject, a survey was conducted using a questionnaire. The research proved to be very useful in highlighting the problem areas within the subjects offered through the Department of Homoeopathy as part of the M Tech Hom Degree. Several general themes have emerged across all the years of the programme. These general themes were: a lack of helpful feedback from assessment tasks, inadequate learning guides, lack of well planned and organised practical sessions and a lack of co-ordination between lecturers offering various components of a subject .
