Research studies show that most university students today take a surface approach to reading and learning (Biggs, 1998, p. 58). This phenomenon occurs because teachers usually lecture the texts and evaluates students on their retention of facts and principles conveyed in the lectures (Wendling, 2008; Hobson, 2004, p.1). Because of that, the author of the journal uses it as the case examined
