Furthermore, the study identified significant differences in the students‟ self-assessment of preparation level prior to classes depending on gender. Male students feel as well prepared as female students despite spending significantly less time in preparation.<br />Conclusion: This study shows that example solutions are mostly used by students to follow a deep learning strategy, but that it is essential to properly introduce the students to the intended usage of the example solutions.</p>}, journal={Pharmacy Education}, author={Sandelin, Albin and Hansen, Helle Rüsz and Baldursdottir, Stefania and Kristensen, Anders Skov and Bak, Lasse K. and Christiansen, Frederik Voetman and Selhuber-Unkel, Christine}, year={2015}, month={Jun.} }
