The sudden precipitation of the pandemic forced undergraduates to take refuge at home, deserting the campus. Consequently, the age-old classroom in person teaching-learning (T-L) method shifted and lessons had to be conducted online. In previous decades, archetypical classroom lectures survived a lot of criticism in the face of the quasi-passive nature of T-L methodology. There are very few studies that reflect undergraduate students' perceptions of lectures. This study aimed to evaluate undergraduate students' perceptions of lectures using an online questionnaire with 13 items, which was circulated to undergraduate students of medical, physiotherapy, and nursing courses in three settings at different locations of private and public health schools. There was a total of 877 responses. The surveyed students were in favor of lectures and considered them indispensable for undergraduate learning. They preferred it as a kind of organized learning through the teacher's own experiences. Our study suggests that it is not the 'lecture' that requires mending but possibly teachers require better training, application of effective audio-visual aids, and innovative techniques to sustain students' interest in the class.
疫情的突然爆发迫使本科生躲在家里，离开了校园。因此，古老的课堂面对面教学（T-L）方法发生了转变，课程必须在线上进行。在过去几十年中，面对 T-L 方法近乎被动的性质，典型的课堂讲座经受了很多批评。很少有研究反映本科生对讲座的看法。本研究旨在使用带有 13 个项目的在线问卷评估本科生对讲座的看法，该问卷分发给来自医学、物理治疗和护理课程的本科生，这些学生来自不同地点的私立和公立卫生学校。共收到 877 份回复。被调查的学生赞成讲座，并认为它们对本科学习不可或缺。他们更喜欢通过老师自己的经验来组织学习。我们的研究表明，需要改进的不是“讲座”，而是教师可能需要更好的培训、有效视听辅助工具的应用和创新技术，以保持学生对课堂的兴趣。
