High content of heading of most theory courses, in comparison with the hours to teach them, make severe problems for using student - centered (learner - centered) learning methods . In this regard, one of the strategies outlined in teaching / learning processes, is to away from lecture-based classes, and transfer some parts of learning responsibility to students. Designing methods to engage students in self learning, can afford to make learning more efficient.
