The team-based learning sections of the course were a waste of time and were in slots marked on our timetables as lectures. We already had biweekly tutorials and that is essentially where the first half is a lecture and then we do more team-based learning. Lectures should be during lecture time, not when I come to a workshop expecting to be able to discuss the content with my peers and teaching staff.
The group activities held every three weeks were glorified arts and crafts and there were better uses of my time. I drove a two-and-a-half-hour round trip to make a poster or flip book when I could’ve been at home or in the library revising. It seemed like the course staff couldn’t decide when they wanted to lecture, run tutorials, or just give us an activity to do so they did all three at random

I absolutely love the clinical and practical aspects of my degree. I do however think they neglect to realise that there are different types of learners. I am all for traditional methods but I really struggle with anatomy and simply written information is not enough. I think it should be more visual and interactive so we really remember the important aspects. I thoroughly enjoy dissection but I think a lot of it is self-taught and therefore it’s hard to know what exactly we need to know or what is vital information.
