Students' Reactions to a Problem-based Student-centred Course.
An eight-week course based on a non-traditional instructional format was offered to 136 first-year medical and dental students. The course was problem-based, student-centred and took place in a small tutorial setting. During and at the end of the course students evaluated their own performance, as well as the course itself. Analysis of the results showed that students reacted favourably to this mode of instruction and requested that more courses should be offered utilizing this approach. The performance of students surpassed the expectation of members of the faculty.
