Educational spiral consists of educational objectives, teaching/learning activities and evaluation .In the evaluation process , teacher gets a knowledge of effectiveness of students’ understanding .However a feed- back on the question paper , can be designed to elicit the responses which will highlight the motivational factors during assessment examinations. When Questionpapers are set with Patient Management Problems (PMP), will they act as stimulators? Two feedbacks encounters one with traditional QP setting and other with PMPs in the QP setting showed an insight into students’ perspectives. When analysed, they throw light on newer insights on ‘self- confidence, self –respect , and self- actualization’.
