Traditionally, theoretical foundations in data structures and algorithms (DSA) courses have been covered through lectures followed by tutorials, where students practise their understanding on pen-and-paper tasks. In this paper, we present findings from a pilot study on using the interactive e-book OpenDSA as the main material in a DSA course. The goal was to redesign an already existing course ...

Abstract  In most schools, introductory computer programming courses are required for computer science as well as all engineering majors. It is generally believed that the programming courses are not just about programming per se, but that they provide a forum for teaching precise and logical thought processes. Computer programming courses constitute a necessary background for computer science...

BACKGROUND It has been proved that basic science knowledge learned in the context of a clinical case is actually better comprehended and more easily applied by medical students than basic science knowledge learned in isolation. The present study intended to validate the effectiveness of Clinically Oriented Physiology Teaching (COPT) in undergraduate medical curriculum at Melaka Manipal Medical ...

Goal modeling in general, and i* in particular, are typically taught in specialized courses that are part of postgraduate programs. In this paper, we report on our experience concerning teaching i* and its basic, essential dialect called simple i* to over 130 first-year students of a bachelor degree in information science. We present the intended learning outcomes and activities, we introduce t...

Learning science requires higher-level (critical) thinking skills that need to be practiced in science classes. This study tested the effect of exam format on critical-thinking skills. Multiple-choice (MC) testing is common in introductory science courses, and students in these classes tend to associate memorization with MC questions and may not see the need to modify their study strategies for...

Athletic Pubalgia, more commonly known as sports hernia, is defined as chronic lower abdominal and groin pain without the presence of a true hernia. It is increasingly recognized in athletes as a source of groin pain and is often associated with other pathology. A comprehensive approach to the physical exam and a strong understanding of hip and pelvic anatomy are critical in making the appropri...

Aim: Doctors who want to receive expertise training have take the Medical Specialty Exam (TUS). That’s why they study for TUS in last period of their undergraduate medical education. However, content is different from education (UÇEP) which determined by national core program. This situation causes physicians preparing ignore basic knowledge. aims determine how much TUS, main purpose education,...

introduction: teachers’ evaluation is one of the most important factors in decision making in university. it is done to determine the situation of  teaching activities. since the university rank in comprehensive exam of basic sciences(cebs) is indicated as educational success, this survey was carried out to determine the relationship between university ranks of  cebs in different courses and th...
