Design patterns form part of most Computer Science (CS) undergraduate curricula. Research has shown that design patterns are both difficult to learn and teach. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted to identify the difficulties experienced by students learning design patterns for the first time. In addition to this it discusses teaching methodologies that can be used in the instr...

Drug utilization evaluation (DUE) is an effective program to identify variability in drug use and to support interventions that will improve patient outcomes. The appropriate use of enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), which is widely used as curative or preventive treatment of thromboembolic disorders was assessed in the study. A prospective DUE was carried out at Masih Daneshvar...

This paper presents an argument in favor of the systematic teaching of object-oriented design patterns in academic institutions and provides some recommendations for organizing the teaching process. It is intended for students, teachers, software engineers, architects, and managers.

Knowing and applying the basic management functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling, as well as their permutations and combinations, are vital to effective delivery of public health services. Presently, graduate programs that prepare public health professionals neither emphasize teaching management theory, nor its application. This deficit puts those who become man...
