The performance of students was assessed after each of the teaching style with the help of a structured questionnaire. At the end of the lecture series, students were asked to fill a feedback regarding their preferences about various methods of teaching. Data was analysed to know the significance. It was observed that students preferred the use of PowerPoint presentation in lectures (53%) than blackboard and overhead projector. Over head projector was the least preferred (5%) method.
