Power point and video projector are the most common educational aid devices which used by 75% of faculty members of basic sciences, 57.1 % of faculty members of clinical sciences and 100% of faculty members of dental school. Formative examinations (quiz, midterm test and etc) were used to evaluate students by 58.3 % of faculty members of basic sciences, 14.2 % of faculty members of clinical sciences and 0% of faculty members of dental school.CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that most faculty members do not use formative examinations to evaluate the students and they do not prepare a written lesson plan.
