Abstract:
The consistency of physical therapy students' grades across courses was investigated. The grades of five entry classes were examined. Not surprisingly, students performed better in some courses than others. Nevertheless, considerable internal consistency of grades was evident within each class during the semester of interest. Grades in courses may reflect a common underlying construct, that is, academic performance of physical therapy students.
