These lecture notes were prepared for the workshop on Adaptive Method, Theory and Application organized

Methods were needed to improve the interest of medical students in the 10-lecture Endocrine Physiology block at the end of the second semester of study. Other incentives for improvement included the possibility of attracting students into endocrine research electives and the pressure to improve teaching approaches that results from the high tuition they pay. The principal approach adopted was t...

Universities have long relied on written text to share knowledge. As more lectures are made available on-line, these must be accompanied by textual transcripts in order to provide the same access to information as textbooks. While Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a cost-effective method to deliver transcriptions, its accuracy for lectures is not yet satisfactory. One approach for improving...

Flipped classroom model is now a well-established learning approach which has brought paradigm shift by blending technology with the traditional method of teaching. The real meaning that lecture flipped so learners get initial material at home and class time used for cooperative learning. tools include Learning management system, social media like. A lot research studies exist on but these lack...

l’objectif de ce travail est de proposer un panorama général des romans de robbe-grillet dans leurs rapports aux multiples discours critiques tenus par des lecteurs avertis. dans l’espace réduit de cette étude, il m’est impossible d’en présenter tous les détails. j’essayerai seulement de voir de quoi robbe-grillet nous avions affaire hier, de quel robbe-grillet il s’agit aujourd'hui, á la ...

Introduction: In recent years, medical education has changed dramatically and many medical schools in the world have been trying for expand modern training methods. Purpose of the research is to appraise the medical students of teacher-based and student-based teaching methods in Infectious diseases course, in the Medical School of Hormozgan Medical Sciences University. Methods: In this interven...

Teaching learning is fruitful and permanent if the total situation is related to the life situation and in the life situation, especially for health science students. Nowadays, participatory approach (Engaged Learning – EL) is widely recognized and practiced over the Lecture Learning (LL) method in which the student is motivated and equipped to enjoy an active role. A Randomized block experimen...

BACKGROUND Assessing in undergraduate medical education the educational effectiveness of a short computer-based session, integrating a lecturer's video with a standardized structure, for evidence based medicine (EBM) teaching, compared to a lecture-based teaching session of similar structure and duration. METHOD A concealed, randomized controlled trial of computer based session versus lecture...

In the last lecture, we proved the positive part of Shannon's capacity theorem for the BSC. We showed that by the probabilistic method, there exists an encoding function E and a decoding function D such that E m Pr noise e of BSCp [D(E(m) + e) = m] ≤ 2 −δ ′ n. (1) In other words, the average decoding error probability is small. However, we need to show that the maximum decoding error probabilit...
