I find sitting in a lecture hall listening to someone mainly summarize the main points of a textbook to be not only boring but a waste of my time. Furthermore exams that are nothing more than a memorization exercise do not accurately reflect or encourage the understanding of key concepts, the development of critical thinking, or cognitive synthesis of new ideas or theories developed as a result of studying the content. Worst of all I have found this style of educational experience to sometimes dampen interest in the subject rather than stimulate the student to explore the subject further.

The challenge of medical education is to prepare students for their future - not our past.
