Class attendance is important for undergraduate medical students, because it is positively correlated with academic performance [Chinese scholars have applied the block-based teaching method to control the teaching process [Block-based teaching involves the simple control of the teaching process without adjusting the process itself. It is necessary to integrate cybernetics into block-based teaching so that teachers can obtain feedback information from students’ performance and adjust their teaching accordingly. The term “cybernetics” was first proposed in 1948 by American mathematician Norbert Wiener [In order to make full use of classroom time to improve students’ learning efficiency in Introduction to Oncology, we applied the block-based teaching method based on cybernetics to manage the large numbers of Chinese medical students and observe the students’ class attendance and participation.
