I want you to inform others to carry their text books for the medicine classes from now on. I want to project some questions like the ones you had in your exams and see you discuss them after reading about them then and there in the class room. What do you think? Its a new way of taking the theory class which can be other wise boring
  Its kind of combining SDL with lecture
4:55 PM Karen: sir, do u mean bringing text book for medicine class on Wed and Thurs
4:57 PM me: Yes bring the text books so that you can read in and during the class itself
 Karen: well it is possible but usually we wont fin the theory class very early and doing SDL Qs will take some time for all of us to read frm the text book
  the idea sounds good but not sure if it will b really practical
4:58 PM me: Whatever time spent in that manner shall be profitable.
 Karen: but most of the time we fin class just before time..
 me: Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for each question actually . Maybe that's another thing you all shall learn. Fast fact finding and reading
 Karen: honestly speaking...we can grab much in the class
4:59 PM but giving notes r good...
  is it possible if we have an overview and lectures just explain the must know n topics whc nds understanding
 me: Maybe you meant can't and giving notes aren't good
5:00 PM Karen: ths way will fin class earlier and we can do more case discussion
  noooo...
 me: Yes thats what we will possibly end up doing in this new kind of lectures
 Karen: giving notes are good for us to read
  but mos of the time we tend to sit n copy and NOT listening
5:01 PM for example...mayb for one topic we can just list out the etiology...symptoms and signs..investigation n treatment in a brush thru way
 me: That's why giving notes aren't good
5:02 PM Karen: thn we can discuss cases or try to apply it in solving cases
  notes are good for us to read b4 exams
  to flip thru n read thru
 me: The idea is to get you all to think more in the class rather than just listen and sleep
  Get you more involved
 Karen: as its very hard to read frm text book
 me: Actually ext books aren't that hard to read if one knows the technique
5:03 PM Karen: its difficult sir
 me: So that's the other thing we can learn how to read text books in the most efficient manner
  Once learnt it may not be
 Karen: perhaps thn...
5:04 PM but class notes r still imp
  besides case discussion
5:05 PM me: Good that I met with the strongest resistance before I began this new thing. However lets see how it works out. Lets give it a try before we reject it altogether
 Karen: yupe sure
  will let othrs knw bout it
  is it only for ur classes or same goes for Dr. Mohit's classes?
5:06 PM me: Only for mine to start with
 Karen: how to knw whn r u coming in sir?
5:07 PM as sometimes its not the same timing
5:08 PM me: Nowadays I shall be coming only on thurdays for lecture classes but anyway all you ahve to do is to carry your medicine textbooks for both the wed and thursdays.
 Karen: sir its too heavy
  but should b fine for Wed and Thurs
5:09 PM me: Good physical exercise along with mental
 Karen: hahaha...
5:10 PM anyways i think its a good idea provided we can finish the class theory part fast n do sdl Qs
5:11 PM me: Otherwise it can continue online. In all the theory classes we actually just begin the chapter which can only end with the end of our medical careers. Throughout our lives we need to revise the chapters that we begin
5:12 PM Karen: yes thts true...but sometimes its quite difficult to read all hand in hand whn we r in some other postings...as we nd to catch up for lotsa topics too...but its not impossible tho..
