  several teaching strategies were included such as Problem Based Learning (PBL).

  used in the integrated curriculum at the faculty of medicine in King Abdulaziz 
  University as well as a private college in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The highest 
  perception among student was that PBL promotes discussion and asking questions, 
  followed by high perception of the student that PBL motivate them to attend 
  regularly. The mean perception of the students towards role of PBL in integrating 
  different discipline and helping the students to be independent learner were 
  the same. The student perceived that the role of tutor is essential in PBL success. 
  The student perceived that the role of both library and internet in helping

  helped them to solve problems than traditional lecture. Finally, students perceived 
  that PBL consume a lot of time in searching for knowledge.
