Methods: A cross‑sectional descriptive questionnaire‑based study was conducted in 1st year medical
students. A total of 49 (n = 49) 1st year medical students were participated in the study. A predesigned
and pretested questionnaire in English was used to collect data. A questionnaire containing 15 questions
was used to assess views of students regarding blackboard and PPT teaching methods. Questionnaire
forms were given after blackboard and PPT presentation on Biochemistry topic. Students were
requested to fill the questionnaire forms and opine. Results: The results were analyzed by statistical

of bar diagram and pie chart. In this study, blackboard teaching was the most preferred teaching
aid (60.43%) compared to PPT teaching method (39.56%). However, more subject coverage (69.3%)
