J D Knox
Professor of General Practice, Department of General Practice, University of Dundee, 166 Nethergate, Dundee, DD1 4DR, UK.

In the second issue of Medical Teacher (1979, 1, 65-70), Professor R. M. Harden gave an overview of assessment in medical education. Here, Professor Knox describes some of the issues involved in one form of assessment-the Modified Essay Question. With careful preparation, this technique can provide a measure of abilities (including attitudes) which cannot easily be assessed by other means. The MEQ can also provide a brisk learning experience in small groups or at a large plenary session.
