The factor that was scored highest in evaluation of achievement after class were appropriateness of instruction method 4.74±0.52, while the lowest item was academic achievement 4.43±0.75. 3. Comparison of satisfaction before and after class revealed that all 4 factors (appropriateness of lesson plan, instruction method, method of performance evaluation, and operation of non-regular courses) were significantly high after class (p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.000, p=0.002).
