The kind of lecturing which depends on student discussion and questioning which can hold the attention of the students for maximal time | It was interesting. The tutor was enthusiastic and that made me enthusiastic. He had a good approach because rather than lecturing to us he got us to participate. I liked the way he choose particular students to answer questions as some students are quieter and would like to answer questions but often do not come forward quickly - he made it so these students got the opportunity to come forward |
Introduction, slide presentation; group discussion and brain storming; starting from how much we understood and then adding to it | Nice slides; enjoyed the introduction |
"Ice-breaking", clear illustrations; explanations of all facts presented | Portrayed his immense knowledge really well; very interesting and his enthusiasm is infective |
Way of discussion; asking students questions, using real and good cases | His topic; the way he asked questions to individuals and was open to questions. Relaxed environment; talked with us, not at us |
Giving practical and real examples | Good use of slides and photos relevant to real world. Explanations clear; opportunity for questions good; interesting material presented in a clear manner. |
Use of real life slide; encouraging us to participate and understand the material by asking and answering questions; not only lecturing | Variety of examples given was great; incorporation of theory into slide presentations; management scheme given, not just advice on parts of management |
Beautiful examples matching with reality | Good use of practical examples - how trauma occurred, what that means and what to do |
