Questionnaire containing ten questions was designed and administered to students. Each question was to be given a score between 1 to 5, where 1 was strongly disagreeing and 5 was strongly agree. The collected data were thoroughly screened and entered into excel spreadsheets and analysis was carried out using SPSS 20.0 for windows. We conclude that seminars in Anatomy were more beneficial to medical students along with theory and practical classes.
