Everything is explained very clearly. I understood all the information in the video perfectly.
Great lecture--very clear and easy to follow. This can be tricky, and Dr. Canby made it very easy to follow
extremely poor presentation. no disrespect to the professor but his anatomy lectures are so far the worst in lecturio!
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.
