Update Course Comments

What did you find most useful?

  • Love the interactive morphology quiz, it was fun and good teaching. BNC and HCCG lecturers were very good.
  • Wide variety of interesting case material, useful revision of ‘awkward’ areas, atrophy & BNA are good topics
  • The pace was just about right in the time scale given, not too intensive either, very good update course.
  • All three days were very helpful to see so many abnormal cases as we do not see them often in day to day work.
  • Handouts fantastic. Also journal articles great touch. Sometimes difficult to get hold of but feel that it helps to get a better

perspective

What did you find least useful?

  • Molecular testing talk was interesting but too quick & hard to grasp in a short time.
  • Borderline lecture / workshop because the topic is so subjective. Whether you call cells borderline or not depends too much
  • n who taught you and the lab you work at.
  • The molecular techniques I understood it but it was a bit vague and for those who have never had to study this area would

probably have struggled with the terminology.

  • Bit confused as to what was required for borderline workshop but could be down to me as on leave previously. Thought

handouts for HCCG were really good ? be useful for this too. Some of dots not helpful, may be worth circling between dots to ensure everyone can see the same thing

General Comments

  • Would have liked more challenging slides especially on the atrophic topic. Definitely preferred the setup of the HCCG

workshop to the dotted slides of the other workshops.

  • All lectures and workshops were very good but the most enjoyable was David’s mini quiz and discussion. Also multiheader

sessions were excellent

  • This was intensive but each day time went quickly so didn’t feel tired at the end of each day. Well paced, good lectures,

good handouts. Excellent selection of topics with a logical sequence.

  • Overall it’s a very intensive update course that will us to continually improve our screening skills.
  • Overall a thoroughly enjoyable course and the days have gone very quickly. I have enjoyed the staff’s enthusiasm.
