Representative Negative Feedback from Junior Students

Theme Identified

Junior

I would like if answers could be provided for the activity after we have conducted our own team or individual attempt, that way we can see whether our understanding is correct.

Lack of feedback

More background information e.g. an image of a normal structure and orientation on things that we should be looking out for. Some annotation activities are particularly difficult without this, e.g. obscure tissue like breasts that we don’t often look at the histology of.

Not enough background knowledge

It would be nice if there was a way for everyone in a group to be able to edit annotations/layers simultaneously because that would make it a lot easier to contribute information and receive other answers.

Once we start annotating the instructions are no longer available.

To enhance self-study, perhaps some pre-annotated slices with features marked and explained.
