Concisely covered revision topics with clear narrative,   Many too long, monotonous and     Those that wont load/take too
pictures, graphs, diagrams.                               hard work.                        long/ keep freezing etc


A clinical case e.g. patient describing symptoms with     Poor quality visuals worse than   Videos of lecturer with no added
narrated approaches to cases/thought                      no visuals                        slides/visual information. Might as

Anatomy narrative with specimens                          Non-specific titles and lack of   Randomly inserted slides just for
                                                          topic overviews.                  the sake of it with no added value.




Ultrasonography/radiology/microscopy/                     Unexplained or mistimed graphs,   Those that try to pitch at multiple
fundic examination slides with interpretation narrative   diagrams etc                      audiences-confusing.
and cursor directing.
