Researh+Methodology

**2.1 Background ** The lecture effectiveness by lecturers from Biomedical Science Department of UKMKKL from Faculty of Allied Health Sciences in session 2010/2011 is study. **2.2 Research design ** The study design is based on observational studies. It is a non-intervention study in which we just observe and analyze subjects and situations in certain criteria and variables is made and measured on subjects. We have performed a cross-sectional study because we are analyzing data collected on first, second, and third year students as well as lecturers from Biomedical Science Department within a short period of time. **2.3 Sampling Procedure ** Sampling is required to obtain more precise information so that we can make full use of the information as a representative of large scale population. Sample is subset or part of the population. Sampling provides many advantageous like saving cost, time and provide highly valuable information in term of accuracy. In this study, we divided the study population into two subgroups: students and lecturers. For students study population, we use stratified random sampling to further divided the population into three subgroups or strata according to years, which are first, second and third years. For lecturers study population, we choose universal sampling method in which we select all of them since the population is too small. Material used in this sampling procedure is the name list of all first, second, and third year students in Biomedical Science Department, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences (FSKB) UKMKKL 2009/2010. **2.3.1 ****Target Population ** We have select all of the lecturers from UKM as our target population.
