You may have noticed that there are a bunch of summary videos covering our lectures (they’re on the videos page of our website). I like these because sometimes it can be useful to have a short (or super short) little run through of a lecture just to remind you about the main points.

However, I want to point out that there is some content in these videos that we will not be going through this year in the associated lectures. This is because I made these videos a few years ago, and every year, I try to improve my lectures (which often means cutting stuff out!). And while I wish I could say that I could make a new series of summary videos each year, I just know that’s promising something I probably can’t fit into my schedule.

So I want to make absolutely sure that you know that you are NOT responsible for anything in these videos that we did not cover in class! For example, the embryology summary videos contain stuff about the pharyngeal arches, which we didn’t cover this year. I cut that stuff out of our embryology lecture because we now have a separate lecture on the pharyngeal arches in Oral Histology – so there’s no need to go through that content now.

Bottom line: you’re ONLY responsible for learning the stuff we cover in class. I won’t test you on anything that isn’t in our lectures.
