Introduction: Regular assessment of teachers' quality of teaching has important role in improving and modifying teaching styles and finally promoting quality of education in the university. The purpose of this study is to compare the assessment results of the faculty members of dentistry school during and at the end of second semester in 2016 from the students´ viewpoints.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 30 faculty members that were evaluated by at least 15 students through completing teacher evaluation questionnaire in the second semester in 2016. The instrument of the study was a questionnaire prepared by the educational development center of the university and evaluation has been done during and at the end of the second semester. Data were analyzed by Descriptive statistics, T-test and kruskal-Wallis tests through SPSS.
Results: there was no significant differences (p = 0.206) between the mean score of the faculty members assessment during (3.41 ± 0.38) and at the end of the second semester (3.3 ± 0.24). But there was significant differences in mean score of the questions (scientific expertise (p=0.001), presenting subjects (p=0.032), regulating sequence and priority in presenting subjects(p=0.020), regular and on time attendance (p=0.007), ability to classroom management(p=0.032) during and at the end of semester. there was not any significant differences between the students' academic term and the mean score of professors during and at the end of the semester.
Conclusion: based on results, there was no significant differences between mean evaluation scores of faculty members during and at the end of semester. It seems that various factors such as taxonomy of the questions at the end of course and difficulty or easiness of exam questions are effective in evaluating the faculty members' assessment scores. By considering that student assessment is one of the effective factors in promoting professors, other effective complementary practices should be used to evaluate including peer evaluation, self-assessment.

Internal evaluation is one of tools that can evaluate systematically education and research status in universities to reach a standard situation. The present study with the aim of investigating research and education quality in basic sciences has been done in two consecutive academic years in Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This descriptive cross- sectional study was performed in basic sciences departments in different schools of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences including: medicine, pharmacy, health, and Nasibeh nursing and midwifery during 94-95 and 95-96 Iranian academic years. At first, eight domains data of internal evaluation were collected through checklists approved by Iran ministry of health and medical education and then the situation of groups in eight internal evaluation domains (mission and goals of the departments, courses and curriculum and non-curriculum programs, faculty members, students, learning/teaching strategies, educational facilities, theses, study opportunities and seminars, and graduates domain) were determined related to the eight standard, separated as domains in schools as well as totally in university for two consecutive academic years. Results were analyzed by SPSS with emphasis on descriptive statistics (mean and scores percent calculation).
Results: The status of eight domains of basic sciences departments was relatively desirable. The calculation of the total score of the school departments showed that the score of the school of Health decreased from 66.13% to 64.21% and the school of pharmacy decreased from 69.03% to 68.13% but the score of Sari Nursing and Midwifery school and the basic sciences department of medical school increased from 66.13% to 70.05%, and 60.44% to 63.32% respectively. Results show that the maximum desirability in the university during 94-95 and 95-96 Iranian academic years were in domains of the faculty members (76.77%), and teaching/learning strategies (73.38%), respectively.

Technology is a powerful tool for effective teaching and deep learning. Therefore, the aim of this paper is evaluate e-learning maturity and rank e-learning dimensions in medical sciences.
Methods: This applied, descriptive- survey research has been done in two phases in 2018. In the first phase e-learning dimensions of Michael Marshall Model were ranked by a panel of e-learning experts including ten members and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method is used in this regards. In the second phase, e-learning maturity was evaluated in the target population by calculating weight of models ´dimension (first phase output). The survey sample population consisted of 365 students of medical science Universities in Shiraz and Tehran that were selected by simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using one sample t test, kolmogorov and Smirnov through SPSS.
Results: according to the experts opinion by AHP planning and management as 2 dimensions of e- learning (0.32, 0.28) had respectively higher weight among other e-learning dimensions and by considering T-value (4.53,3.19,4.22,5.51,4.16) 5 basic E-learning processes (Learning(0.001), Development(0.019), Support (0.002), Evaluation(0.00) and Organization(0.002)) are located in acceptable level in medical education (Sig.<0.05) but delivery dimension of learning (0.067) and optimization dimension of organization (0.055) aren't located in acceptable level.
Conclusion: based on results, medical universities have true movement toward deployment of effective e-learning in medical education. The weights of dimensions (the importance of planning and management) and detailed results showed, at first policymakers who work in the area of e-learning should be aware of the role of standardization and optimization.

Statistical population Were the Graduate students of Shahid Beheshti Universities, Tehran, Allameh Tabatabaei and Kharazmi, and third and fourth year students of medical faculties, paramedical, health and medical technologies of the universities of Shahid Beheshti, Tehran and Iran in academic year 2017-2018. With the Cochran formula, the sample size was 331. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire. Validity and reliability of this questionnaire were confirmed using factor analysis.Data were analyzed by independent t-test through SPSS.
Results: In the phase of formation of academic spin off, the average importance of different factors were as follow: individual factors (t=-2.795), educational factors (t=-2.061), background factors (t=7.927), and institutional factors (t= 4.409). In the development phase, the average importance of organizational factors (t=2.367) was different between two groups of students. There was no significant difference in other factors (p< 05).
Conclusion: Considering that the average importance of different factors in the phase of formation including individual, educational and institutional factors as well as organizational factors in the development phase was different among groups, it is necessary, different universities use specific programs according to their Different functions in order to facilitating the formation and development of these companies and consider special criteria for evaluating and improving their performance.
