Vignettes

Student comments on Faculty Authored Vignettes

u “Staff vignettes are great revision tools because

they are recorded well and the information is clear and concise!”

u “Good revision tool because if you haven't

completely understood something in the lecture or when revising then you can go to that place in the vignette and listen to the explanation again!”

u “All lecturers should do it” u “Would be more effective if lectures were

recorded as vignettes that are only 5 minutes long”
