The traditional teaching system, with a sole term evaluation test, is checked against a method consisting of frequent testing, during a Neuroanatomy course.
The statistic comparison of the mean grades for bath methods showed a significant difference in favor of the continued evaluation system.
The possible factors that might have made successful the use of this method and the feed-back provided by the students are discussed. Additionally, the authors suggest some procedures for controlling the validity of the method appraised herein.
