Abstract
Introduction: The success of any teaching programme lies in planning a curriculum which
allows the students to gain maximum meaningful knowledge in the short span of time
available. To achieve this goal, it is very important to have adequate communication between
teachers and students. The students undoubtedly are in the best position to comment on the
effectiveness of any teaching system and they may be regarded as the best judges to assess
the teaching and evaluation methods.
Objectives: This study was designed to obtain feedback on teaching and evaluation methods
in the subject of physiology from the students of two successive batches, after passing their
first professional undergraduate medical examination.
Method: A written questionnaire covering topics on various teaching and evaluation methods
was used to get feedback from students.
Conclusion: Students were satisfied with all teaching methods except vertical integrated
seminars. Majority of the students showed preference for grand stage, short answer
questions and revision cum self study. Practical demonstrations were found to be useful. All
students felt that there should be more time for revision and self study.
