Tutorial 6
50 Questions review
Take a look at the 50 Questions in O&G. It would be a good idea to start working through these from week 3 onwards. These are common topics that I would expect you to be able to talk about by the end of your attachment. We won't be able to answer them all, but can go through any you are unsure about.
