WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

Is it enough to just watch the videos or is it much better to watch them AND read the notes ??

Any advise is appreciated

Thanks

OK my experience so far...

Pediatrics: He reads the notes, useful only when he is showing some X rays, erythema pictures, imitates coughs (croup etc). Better watch the DVD following the notes

Psychiatry: She is amazing. She also follows the notes but she describes each disorder in a very good way. After listening to the DVDs once I scored 60% in UW. Better watch the DVD following the notes.

OB: He reads the notes and does some extra tables (which I didn't find very useful). Better study the notes.

IM:They don't follow the notes

Endocrinology: I found him boring...it took me 3 days for just 5h lectures. Not enough material. He didn't explain adrenal glands and bone disorders (HY qs). Better skip the DVDs and study Endo pathophysiology and nosology from a textbook

GI, Rheumatology, Pulmonology, Emergency medicine: He follows the notes. Make your own notes too (found it very useful - typing in a word file while listening to DVDs).Better watch the DVD and type your own notes

Electrolytes:-Nephrology: He is very good. He doesn't follow the notes. Better watch the DVD and type your own notes

Neurology: Same as above

Cardiology, Hematology: Dr. Conrad Fischer. Respect. This guy is amazing.Better watch the DVD and type your own notes

Dermatology: totally useless DVD.

good luck!
