Student Comments • • I watched all of them I watched each one in its entirety I watched them before coming to the lab They helped me: – Visualize the equipment setup – Waste less time in the lab …the videos completely eliminated the "ughh what am I doing" moment… …helped prepare me for the labs as I am a visual learner.
