| description | Objective:
To determine which study aid, Lecture Outlines or textbooks, do the students of Dow Medical College find more accessible and preferable for the comprehensive coverage of their educational course.
Introduction:
Technology has revolutionized education as we know it. Each method has its proponents, with students preferring either one or a combination of those choices. The effects of the guided notes, overhead lectures, textbook reading and note taking methods on the academic performance of students have been studied thoroughly and convincingly in several studies.
Methodology:
This cross sectional survey which was conducted at Dow Medical College from August 1st2013 till October 1st 2013.
Results:
From 191 valid participations, for the comprehensive coverage of educational course, 23% of students prefer textbooks, 1% prefers lecture outlines, 74.3% prefer both lecture outlines and textbooks and remaining1.6% mentioned the usage of other study sources. 54.16% of students, who use Lecture Outlines only orLecture Outlines and textbooks both in combination, prefer Lecture Outlines because they contain the complete and authentic information required to pass Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) exams.78% of students believe that Lecture Outlines available on DUHS websites are unorganized,
Conclusion:
Majority of the Student mass of DMC prefer Lecture Outlines and textbooks in combination for the comprehensive coverage of their educational course.
