As I have mentioned, all materials were being delivered online this term, mostly through Microsoft teams. Most of the lectures are pre-recorded, but there are live workshops and tutorials as well. The downsides for online teaching is quite obvious - first of all, there is no way to ask the lecturer on any questions you have after each pre-recorded lecture, which means we will often need to spend extra time after watching the lecture to find out the answers to the doubts we have, and sometimes not even knowing whether we have the correct information. Also, the first year of medicine in King's not only focus on the scientific theories behind medicine, but also the practical and clinical side of becoming a doctor, and having these experiences, such as talking to simulated patients and carrying out PCR experiments in real life, just simply cannot be fully replaced by learning online. Another aspect that I was really looking forward to before starting medicine at KCL was the opportunity to carry out dissection, but of course now that can't happen as well. However, the faculty did try their best to make sure these downsides had minimal effects on our study. There are weekly live Q&A sessions for everyone to ask the professors questions as well as live workshops that aim to simulate the practical and clinical experiences as close to real life interaction as possible. Although there weren't any dedicated dissection sessions, the dissection room was open for self-directed learning and we could book time slots where the demonstrators could teach us anatomy by prosection. Overall, it has been a unique experience and I still feel like I had a good understanding of the materials thanks to the effort all professors made to deliver their teaching as best as they could.
