And there are limits to what a charismatic lecturer could achieve because, while students can be stimulated by lectures and prompted to find out more, they do not necessarily learn anything from them.
B] Case stimulated Interactive Lectures: This approach employed large group lecture either in a quiz fashion or with a patient problem accompanied by questions.
The variety of teaching learning methods have been appreciated in a differential manner by the students and the active learning strategies, namely, case stimulated interactive lectures, group seminars and hospital visits for early clinical exposure were rated better by the students while the didactic lectures and case based learning were less appreciated by them.
While there is evidence that students find games more enjoyable and stimulating than standard lectures [ 33, 35], evidence for their utility in increasing knowledge is conflicting, perhaps in part due to the limited number of rigorous studies [ 18].
Some research has found that it has a very significant effect on students' performance in lectures, stimulating their interest and concentration [ 4] and creating greater engagement and broader participation [ 5].

There are many ways to stimulate such thinking during lectures; small group discussions, for example, are particularly effective at increasing learning and motivation (Smith et al. 2009; Springer et al. 1997).
A further nine, 5-point Likert scale questions (from strongly agree through to strongly disagree), were incorporated to allow students to express their opinion in relation to the usefulness of the KS in helping them identify their learning needs, maintain focus in the lecture, stimulate interest, and promote both understanding and integration of concepts.
The teaching learning methods incorporated were [a] didactic lectures, [b] case stimulated interactive lectures, [c] case based group learning, [d] student group seminars, [e] dissection, [f] practicals/demonstrations and [g] patient exposure.
As an intellectually curious human, I find satisfaction in reading books and articles, watching lectures online and engaging in stimulating conversations with friends.
