Faculty member of the medical college reviewed this newly introduced blended teaching technique with likert score. Student’s response was taken regarding provided questionnaire for student’s perception on likert scale.
RESULTS: The study shows the significant difference of change between pre- & post-test in anyone of the groups & with any of the teaching methods suggesting the usual importance of teaching methods.
