First Histology slide practical review

I think the review was poorly organized. For the first hour or hour and half a lecturer was presenting slides over the TV or projector. The next hour and a half was devoted to individual slide study. Six or seven plates of around 50 slides each were shared by 54 students. A list of tissue types that would be on the practical was given to us. We just had to make sure that we could identify all the tissues on the list plus some of the tissue's key features. The TAs were present to answer any questions. The main problem with this setup was that one could not easily compare two or three similar looking tissues side by side since availability of slides was so poor.

Ideally, two people could have shared a plate and gone thru all the slides on the plate. This is what some of the students ended up doing by setting up extra sessions with a TA.
