LEARNING STRATEGIES
Interactive Lectures
The traditional lecture system is used to introduce a subject and discuss the broad
concepts in that specific field that specific field of study. Interactive lectures to smaller
groups remain an effective and essential way of teaching. More recent methods of
learning and teaching, such as case-based learning and small group-based problem-
solving sessions are also employed.

 BAHRIA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL AND DENTAL COLLEGE

Group Based Learning

Small group and tutorial sessions are regularly held every week to enable students to
discuss the details of a lecture topic. Students are expected to prepare presentations on
applied topics discus their implications with their fellow students. The lecturer acts as a
facilitator. By participating in these group discussions, students have the opportunity to
interact and learn from one another.

Hands-on-Training
Practical sessions are conducted to reinforce concepts developed during theoretical
sessions. Laboratory work is a vital part of Physiology, Biochemistry, Histology,
Pharmacology, Microbiology and Pathology courses, and provides an opportunity for
students to make their own personal observations in relation to their theoretical
knowledge they gain. Gross Anatomy is mostly learnt during the practical session in the
dissection hall. Lectures and tutorials are held for providing clinical orientation on the
subjects.
Clinically orientated topics are identified within the framework of anatomical information,
which are structured, and case-base learning.

presentation to provide students with essential hands-on experience and clinical practice.

SEMINARS
The University regularly organizes seminars where groups of students are encouraged to
independently present on topics of general interest before a larger audience. This
encourages students to read beyond their textbooks and learn how to support their
knowledge with research.

examinations, and annual/university examinations. Credit from these continuous
assessments contributes towards the final examination scores. The assessment process
is used step by step to determine whether instructional objectives are being achieved. To
evaluate students competencies, skills and attitudes, a variety of assessment methods are
used, including short essay questions, MCQs, practical and oral examinations and clinical
tests. In line with the PM&DC stipulation, the pass / fail threshold for all tests and
examinations has been fixed at 50%.

19
