This is a demonstration and discussion of how to use a customizable database to strengthen the collection of assessment/observation data and improve timely assessment and feedback to students. The database (using Filemaker Pro) is currently used by the Michigan State University College of Law Tax Clinic and allows clinicians to easily and quickly enter qualitative and quantitative data for any number of assessment and observation opportunities (written work product, professor-student interaction, classwork, class participation, courtroom presentation, client interactions, etc.). This is particularly effective for clinics with multiple supervisors. The clinician has real-time tools to track a student’s progress on a daily, weekly, semester or per client basis. There are nearly unlimited customizations that allow clinicians to track student performance on any task, project or interaction. It also has fully customizable reports that can be printed for prompt written student feedback and to review every student assessment events in one document. The application runs on Mac, Windows, and tablets in a networked environment. The database is protected by strong encryption to protect student data and comply with FERPA. The software can be completely customized to any particular area of law and clinic process. Recording assessments and observations can be easier and more complete with the assistance of database software.
