From: Evaluation of effectiveness of instruction and study habits in two consecutive clinical semesters of the medical curriculum munich (MeCuM) reveals the need for more time for self study and higher frequency of assessment

Figure 1

Time of self-study divided by quantity of instruction (TSS/QI) over time (semester weeks). Left panel: Box-and-whisker plots, 1 assessment per semester (1976 data points, surgical semester), right panel: 2 assessments per semester (1284 data points, internal medicine semester). Median TSS/QI (black dots) is below 1 during the semester and increases above 1 only before assessments. Groups were significantly different when compared globally and at 8 weeks, and not different when compared at 1 week and at 15 weeks (adjustment for multiple testing was applied).
