The 3 first-class indicators were teaching attitude, teaching professionalism and capability, teaching skill and practice, with weight coefficients of 0.337 4, 0.327 6 and 0.335 0, respectively. In the two rounds consultation, expert activity coefficients were both 100.0%; the authority coefficients were 0.881 and 0.879, respectively; the harmonious coefficients of importance of the evaluation index were 0.228 and 0.248, respectively (all P<0.05).
