Great praise goes to our instructor on the first day, who provided us with an abundance of constructive feedback to rectify our movements and identify errors during the execution of the surgery. She exhibited remarkable competence and a friendly demeanor, remaining mentally and physically attuned to our needs throughout the procedures. Similarly, though with a slightly subdued enthusiasm was our instructor during the first half of the second day. She was equally interactive and engaged, consistently providing us with valuable feedback throughout the session. Both demonstrated a high level of interactivity and engagement, consistently offering us relevant comments throughout the session. Nevertheless, the amount of engagement exhibited by our third instructor was not comparable. Although he provided input when prompted and occasionally took the effort to share his own insights, his level of engagement was limited, seemed less involved and intervened only sporadically. Active engagement and the provision of continuous live feedback are imperative for an instructor to effectively fulfill their role. Despite the varying levels of engagement from our instructors, this educational experience was highly rewarding, especially as an introduction to robotic surgery. The ample practice we received on the console was particularly beneficial, considering the small group size, which consisted of only two participants.

The organization need some improvement. We were starting always late, at the first day at 9, and on the second day at 8:45. Moreover we had to wait another 10-15minutes for the tutors to prepare the chickens because they didn’t do it before.. In spite of all this delay we were ending at point 5pm. I know the tutors shouldn’t give us advices during evaluation but on the first day it would be helpful to get some tips and tricks - for most of us it was a first hand-on trading on da Vinci and we could use some help.
