In the present Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), learning is more student-centered where the students take the responsibility for their learning. Anatomy is an important basic science that lays the foundation for clinical courses in the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) curriculum. To make it interesting and clinically useful, several innovative teaching-learning methods like case-based learning (CBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) are introduced. The present study was taken up to know the effectiveness of CBL as a teaching-learning method in Anatomy in improving the knowledge and retention of acquired knowledge.

In the Automotive industry, safety of the driver has always been a matter of concern, in which there is a lot of scopes to work in. And if it's about making a race car, then the issue takes its own importance as the risk of a driver getting injured is too high .This paper is an introduction to the various types of analysis which can be performed on the formula student race car in order to ensure the safety of the driver and the various ways by which the results obtained after the analysis can be optimized for the safety of the driver has been discussed based on the experience of the team XTREMERIDERS.From this paper, one can easily get an idea about how to perform different types of analysis by applying what amount of loads on a student formula race car.

Team-based learning (TBL) is an active and structured learning process. This study was undertaken to develop interest among the students over the subject and to analyze the academic performance over routine conventional lecture method of teaching. This was a comparative study organized to know the effectiveness of TBL over conventional didactic lecture (CDL) and also to assess the student's perception towards TBL. MethodsThis was an interventional study where second-year MBBS students took part. Students were divided into two groups and the same topic was discussed by using two different teaching-learning methods. Similar sessions were conducted with crossing over of groups for four different topics and assessments were done after each session simultaneously for both the groups and the results were analyzed. ResultsAssessment of each session has been counted and the mean marks with standard deviation have been tabulated for both groups A & B. The results were statistically significant for the TBL group. Students' perception was also evaluated by using 5-point Likert scale for both the teaching methods, which revealed statistically significant score for TBL over CDL with the a p-value of 0.001. ConclusionOverall, TBL was a good teaching-learning method according to the students' performance and perception. Interactive innovative and small-group sessions can be an effective tool to overcome the limitation of conventional method.
