Everything is explained very clearly. I understood all the information in the video perfectly.

Veins of thoracic vessels

By Cullen L. on 30. October 2019 for Veins – Thoracic Vessels

Great lecture--very clear and easy to follow. This can be tricky, and Dr. Canby made it very easy to follow

hard to follow

extremely poor presentation. no disrespect to the professor but his anatomy lectures are so far the worst in lecturio!

Poor Presentation

By Flora I. on 01. May 2018 for Veins – Thoracic Vessels

I chose this rating because the structures the Lecturer is describing are unclear and difficult to follow. If the instructure had better visualization--such as highlighting the veins as he spoke--that would help immensley. An additional thing that would have helped is to have a visual summary of which veins feed into which at the end of the segment so the students could organize the vein tributaries better in their minds. I like the over all information, it just needs to be presented better.
