First Anatomy practical review

This practical was held from 9am to 1pm on Saturday. Students could go whenever they wanted during that time. The teaching assistants (TA) were present to review all the material that was going to be on the practical. We would also have to identify structures on X-rays. I believe its essential to find the right TA in order to learn efficiently. By this I mean that a TA should have good knowledge and good communication skills to convey that knowledge. I think most of the TAs here are knowledgeable, but few are good communicators. I always stick with the ones with good communication skills.
