Active learning/problem-based learning activities, quizzes, clinical cases, and exercises are implemented in order to stimulate students' enthusiasm for the subject and their involvement in classes. These approaches, in addition to involving students in their learning, also help in the application and consolidation of knowledge and syllabus content, and the classroom environment is more engaging and productive. Formative assessments are used to support teaching and learning in the classroom. The feedback facilitated by formative assessments enables teachers to adapt their instruction to the needs of students, taking into account their individual characteristics, difficulties, and gaps, and provide feedback to students; students can use such feedback to self-regulate their study and steer their own learning processes directly.
